Olde Kings Head, Chester

You want to visit - You have this in

Dating from 1622, this is the former abode of Randle Holme, Mayor of Chester before the Civil War (four generations of his family worked as Chester Heralds and historians in the 17th Century). The attractive black and white timbered exterior leads into an atmospheric, effective mock-Tudor, dimly-lit, low-beamed lounge with cosy alcove seating. A partitioned side room enables the portraited company of Henry VIII and Charles I.

Asset of Community Value

Half timbered building which, according to the Blue Plaque outside, was built 1633 as a private residence. Surviving features are few. Some old timbers, including supports, but just as many modern ones. Two stone fireplaces (but one could be re-positioned - at front). Opened out in 1930s with some work of that period including the bar counter - but bar back is c2000s work and all modern. Modern seating throughout.
