A former coaching Inn...


During the 19th Century the ‘Regulator’ coach used to depart from the Feathers Hotel, three times a week, for the fourteen-hour journey to London.

The Feathers Hotel is a Grade II Listed Building and the rendered and colour washed façade was once richly decorated with ornate lettering.

The Hotel has been a hospitable meeting place since 1650. The three-feathered Coat of Arms of the Prince of Wales once hung above the main entrance.
 
The view across Holt’s Market Place remains relatively unchanged and has been depicted in paintings by many artists.

As you leave Plaque 2 glance at the gable end of the C.T. Baker building to see the date 1631 incorporated in the brickwork.
