The George Inn, High Street, was built in the 15th century and was restored in the late 20th century. Close-studded timber framed with plaster infill. The ground floor has been rebuilt in flint with red brick dressings and quoins. The lower fringe of the roof is in Horsham slabs, the remainder tiles. One of the first floor rooms has the remains of late C16 or early C17 wall-paintings. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1293461 Alfriston is a village in East Sussex, some 6½ miles northwest of Eastbourne and 3½ miles northeast of Seaford. The village lies on the west bank of the Cuckmere River. There is evidence of occupation in the Neolithic period, with several long barrows on the surrounding downs. The village is home to The Star Inn, built in 1345 to accommodate monks and pilgrims en route from Battle Abbey to Chichester Cathedral. Also in the village is the Old Clergy House, the first building acquired by the National Trust in 1898.
