The New Inn, Gloucester

The New Inn, 16 Northgate Street, Gloucester, England, is a timber framed building used as a public house, hotel and restaurant.

Stories that the inn was built to provide lodgings for pilgrims to the tomb of King Edward II were first recorded in the eighteenth century and may be incorrect.

[1] In 1553, King Edward VI died and Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen from the first floor gallery by the Abbot of Gloucester.

Soon afterwards twelve fire engines throughout Gloucestershire had arrived to save the building with Police and Ambulances, It is believed nobody was injured in it.

[5][6] The timber frame of the large three-storey rectangular building is of oak with lathe and plaster rendered panels.
