George and the Dragon

The door between Country properties and Isabel hospice is the only unaltered
part of the large and flourishing inn called The George and Dragon Inn which
dates from at least 1617.
It was once the meeting point of the Trustees of the first turnpike road
in England, the Wadesmill Turnpike Trust, and also of the local Justices.
Samuel Pepys and his wife stayed in either The George and Dragon Inn
or The Bell Inn in September 1663. Mrs Pepys drank so much
cold beer that Samuel thought she would die.
