Summary

A public house built in 1890 (dated by plaque, now worn), to a design by WA Unsworth.

Reasons for Designation

* Architectural interest: the building is constructed in an Arts and Crafts Cotswold Vernacular style, which appears only rarely in the context of building in Bath; * Group value: with its former coach house (now Wessex Court) to the rear, also listed at Grade II.

History

The public house was originally known as the Weston Inn, to which name it has reverted, having previously been called The Sportsman and prior to that the Weston Hotel. It is a well-designed building in the Arts and Crafts Cotswold style, which here makes an unusual appearance in Bath.
