The plaque reads
“The Mitre Hotel sits on the site of a former public house (The Wheatsheaf) which was rebuilt around 1923. The name is an acknowledgement to the high churchman Bishop William Stubbs (1825-1901) distinguished theologian, ecclesiastical historian and Bishop of Oxford, born in this town.
George A Moore CBE, K St J, born here on 22nd July 1928, went on to become a notable industrialist and successful businessman. He took special interest in the prosperity of Knaresborough and the people who lived and worked in it, generously supporting many local causes. As a mark of gratitude he was made Freeman of Knaresborough in 2000. ”
