For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}{2} Former inn constructed during the early 17th century, and extended during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Formerly known as the 'Granby Inn' and now in use partly as a wine bar and restaurant, and partly as a nursery (for children). The building is thought to have been constructed in the early 17th century, possibly on the site on an earlier structure. It is not known if it was intended to be an inn from the start, although a newspaper reference names the Granby Inn as present in February 1794, when it was the venue for an auction. The establishment continued to operate under this name until around 2002, at which time it became the Eden Wine Bar. The substantial original building is on a T-shaped plan, on the north-west corner of the Market Square, partially concealed behind 5 Market Place. Adjoining the former inn to the west is a range of outbuildings constructed of stone, possibly during the 18th century. To the north (rear) is a range of outbuildings and stables constructed of brick during the early 19th century. In the late 1960s, a further outbuilding constructed of brick was added at the western end of the range of stone outbuildings. The ground floor of the former inn was remodelled during the mid 20th century. By the early 2000s, the outbuildings and stables to the north and west were vacant but were subsequently refurbished and are now occupied by the nursery. The principal building is constructed of brick, which is smooth rendered on its south elevation and painted on its east elevation, with a slate roof covering. The outbuildings to the west are of squared and coursed limestone and red brick under a clay pantile roof. The outbuildings to the north are of red brick under a clay pantile roof. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {3}{4}
