Full Record - Nottingham, Old Market Place, 18 Angel Row, Old Bell Inn
| Location | Nottingham, Old Market Place, 18 Angel Row, Old Bell Inn, Nottinghamshire |
|---|---|
| Grid reference | SK 571 398 |
| Description | The Bell Inn faces the Old Market Square with its earliest surviving above-ground structure being a front range parallel to the street consisting of two bays. It has two storeys with both bays chambered. The range was jettied to the street side only. The south bay was wider and included a cross-passage alongside the central truss. This bay has a lateral first-floor bridging beam whereas the north bay has an axial bridging beam. The south bay roof survives with arched braced crown plates, the internal crown-post truss with a collar and two swept braces each side of the post, a deep, slightly swept tiebeam, and close-studded framing at the first floor. One infill panel of plastered stone slabs still survive at first-floor level. It is reputed to have been a Carmelite refectory. The north bay was rebuilt with a two-bay cross-wing with gable end to the street c. 1600. It has a single purlin roof with clasped type trusses and coupled rafter joints at the ridge. It was then known as The Angel public house. The front gable was refronted c. 1800. C.'" 7' Chris Miners, Architect and Historic Building Consultant.) |
