HISTORY: This is a complete and important example of a building associated with the inn trade, built at a critical period of economic growth in post-Restoration England. It is located just to the W of Marlais House and Wordsley House (qv), a former inn of late C17 date. It was a multi-purpose building, incorporating space for the accommodation and servicing of horses and vehicles, in addition to an area for the supply of pigeons to the table and extensive lofted areas which were partly intended for fodder and stable hands etc.
