The George and Dragon, Kirkbymoorside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The George and Dragon is a historic pub in Kirkbymoorside, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was originally a Mediaeval, cruck framed, structure. It was rebuilt in the mid 18th century as a coaching inn, and by 1811 it had stables, barns, coach houses and other outbuildings. It was later extended to the rear, and divided, with the right hand section becoming a bank. The building was grade II listed, along with its railings, in 1985.[1][2]
The pub is built of stone, whitewashed on the front, with chamfered quoins, basement and floor bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pantile roof. It has two storeys and a semi-basement, and three bays. In the left bay is an elliptical carriage arch with voussoirs, and quoined jambs with imposts. Steps lead to the doorway that has a divided rectangular fanlight, and a flat hood on wrought iron brackets. The windows are horizontally-sliding sashes with double keystones. In front are iron railings on a chamfered stone base, with urn finials and spiral tips.[2][3]
