 The buildings within the Inn are grouped principally in two
squares, with the remainder ranged around the gardens.The buildings
range in age from before the 18th century through to the 20th century, with
the former group all being listed as of architectural and historic
interest.
The Inn was badly damaged by bombing
during the Second World War and the post-war buildings are a result of
that damage with rebuilding taking place in the late 1950s. Being of
more modern design, the facilities are superior to those of the
pre-war buildings. However, the buildings of the latter group have their own particular
charm due to age and layout. Most of the buildings consist of
offices on three or four floors, with residential accommodation
principally located on the top floors.
