Category C Listed late 18th century inn, altered in the late 19th century. The hotel's website claims the building dates to the 1730s. Refurbished in 2005 the hotel seems to have closed recently and looks to have been on the market for a couple of years. A search of my few directories suggests the hotel may have been called the Bush Hotel, here are the results; 1825 no inn/pub names given; 1837 only vintners listed are Bush Inn, Globe Inn, Ewe & Lamb, Blue Bell; 1861 only vintners listed are Commercial & Globe; 1878-1886 only vintners listed are Bush, Commercial & Globe; 1903 establishments listed are Bush Hotel & Commercial Hotel.
