Background
History
The first inn on this site opened its doors to travelers in 1560 during the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The original inn is located in the front of the building facing on to Church Street. The hotel was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries with and this part of the buildings frontage faces east towards the parish church. By this time the Griffin had become a busy coaching inn. An interesting feature of the archway and courtyard were the use of wooden cobbles installed to muffle the horse's hooves, so as not to disturb the guests sleeping upstairs.
