Conversion

One of the oldest buildings in the city, dating from C14 and Grade II* listed. Parts of the Roman wall remain in front. This was formerly St Radigund's Hall, a beautiful timber-framed Wealden hall house that was in danger of demolition in the 1930s but discovery of many original details led to restoration and it became a pub in 1987. It has a heavily beamed, part bare wood, part flagstone floored bar on the ground floor, and a stunning restaurant or function room on the first floor that has a fine roof with crown posts and brackets (best to visit at a quiet time to go upstairs and admire). The pub has an ancient brick fireplace and three open fires in total, sympathetic furniture and a lovely garden.
