Abstract:		 In November 2013 Archaeology South-East carried out historic building recording and archaeological monitoring during the conversion of two outbuilding ranges at the rear of The George Hotel into flats. The hotel is Grade II-listed and dates to the 16th century, but is mentioned in records from 1417. The outbuildings are half-timbered and curtilage-Listed with the hotel, which was one of the town's main coaching inns in the 18th century. They occupy two sides of the hotel courtyard and were probably built in the 18th century as stabling for horses and lodgings for travellers. In the 19th century the north range was extended at the front and the first floor rebuilt to create a meeting hall. Part of the north range also included a coach house, which is now a shop and is outside of the development area. The survey was conducted in two phases, the first recording the buildings in their 'current' state and the second after stripping-out to record the built fabric as part of monitoring works. Conversion to hotel apartments in the mid-20th century had resulted in the retention of few historic fixtures and fittings, but the recording of the timber framing in the west range and the Victorian hall in the north range are of interest. Evidence for historic room layouts, stable fixtures and a Tudor boundary wall were also recorded. Groundworks associated with the conversion were limited and shallow and have had minimal impact on below-ground archaeological remains that might be present.
