There are two chimney stacks, one off-centre and one at the party wall with No 2. A parapetted gable is to the east at the Baker's Court end but the Coat of arms over centre doorway has gone to be replaced by this painted sign suspended on a modern wrought iron tripod. There is a large rearward extension of the hotel which incorporates a large modern function room and dining area, and an outside courtyard with pergola to the rear of no.2.

During the 19th century the ‘Regulator’ coach used to depart from the Hotel three times a week for the fourteen hour journey to London.
