Historical Significance

Grade II listed building dating to the 16th century with substantial intact medieval roof structure featuring clasped side purlin construction and heavy scantling rafters. The building evolved from single range Tudor inn to H-plan structure with 18th-century crosswings and late 19th-century Market Place facade. Served as coaching inn, later railway hotel during March's role as Great Eastern Railway junction. The 16th-century timber-framed core with Georgian brick facade represents centuries of continuous hospitality service in this historic Fenland market town.
