Brief History
Building of the Hall commenced in 1658, the year of Oliver Cromwell's death. The date of completion is not clear, although the date on the Coat of Arms in the bar is 1673. The Lounge, which was the kitchen, holds what is reputed to be the widest spanning sand stone hearth in England. The hotel stands next to St Mary's Church with the famous 15ft-high Viking Cross. The building retains a number of original features that have been retained, in keeping with its Grade 2* listing.
