White Hart Inn - Whitehart Street - Thetford, Norfolk - Blue Plaques on Waymarking.com

Green plaque on the former White Hart Inn on Whitehart Street, Thetford.

The plaque reads:
One of several coaching inns on the main
London to Norwich Road. Its business
flourished until the coming of the
railway in 1845.

"This two storey timber framed building was formerly the White Hart Inn. It was constructed in the 17th century, but was almost completely rebuilt in the 19th century when at least part of the building was converted to shops. In the late 20th century it was again partly rebuilt when portions were converted to offices. The ground floor retains a square carriage entrance, a bowed 19th century shop front, and one bricked-in window with ovolo moulded mullions. Timber studs and a dragon beam have been identified at the ground floor to No. 2, suggesting that it was once jettied, and a cross wing in the courtyard retains exposed flint, brick and clunch. In 1979 wall paintings were discovered during restoration which are believed to date to the 17th century."
