BIDEFORD
SS4526 THE QUAY 842-1/5/224 (West side) 08/11/49 No.8
GV II
Public House, now shop and offices. Late C19, refronted probably in 1930s; incorporates important C17 detail from house formerly on the site. Solid rendered front. Steeply-pitched hipped slate roof. Rendered chimney on each side-wall. 3 storeys; 3-window range. Ground storey altered, but upper storeys retain simple Art Deco design with metal windows and large stepped projection to centre of upper floor. INTERIOR: first-floor front room contains an early/mid C17 plaster overmantel with the Grenville arms and a high-relief figure, popularly believed to be Sir Bevil Grenville (d 1643), whose town house is said to have occupied this site. The 1973 list description refers to a date of 1643 on the overmantel, but this does not seem to have been noticed by local historians commenting on the house. For part of C19 this was the Three Tuns Inn.
