GV II
House in row, incorporating former shop-front. C17 or earlier. Smooth rendered ground floor, rough-cast above, with scalloped pargetting edges to windows and gables, stone slate roof, but some tiles at back. Two gables to street, and upper storey formerly jettied, but lower walls now brought forward, and two parallel ranges at back, brick stacks. Two storeys, 2-windowed, 1:3:1 and 1:4:1 oriels with 'Tudor' heads to lights and small stone slate canopies over canted bay, sashes with glazing bars ground floor left, and large casement with bars and glazed C20 door, right, formerly a shop-front. To left is 6-panel flush door under transome light with margin bars. A moulded bressummer runs 2/3 width of the frontage, from left end and a carved angel acts as a corbel under the right oriel. (See also NMR). Interior includes some heavy framing in what was formerly the back wall, and the front wall is also framed above the ground floor; the roof with many original timbers retains one wind brace. The name of the property is thought to derive from some association with the George Inn (q.v) adjoining which was a pilgrims hostel for visitation of the Abbey.
