The Pent House is a Grade II listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. [1] [2] Standing at 20 Fore Street, Plympton's main street, it dates to the 17th century and is believed to have originally been merchants' houses or tenements of cottages. It is now one property. [1]
It has rubble walls, except for the deeply projecting first floor, which is render and likely timber framed. [1]
Although its interior has not been inspected by Historic England, it was evaluated by Time Team in 1999. In the episode, architectural historian Beric Morley discovered, in what would have been the back of the building in mediaeval times, a large timber lintel spanning a fireplace that was likely original to the 17th-century construction. A dendochronology sampling dated the timber's felling date (but not the date it was inserted into the fireplace) to around 1290. [3] [3]
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a public house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It is one of several pubs that lay claim to being the oldest in England. The building is described by Historic England as being of 16th-century appearance, but as the earliest date for which it can be proved to have been licensed is 1756 – and even that date is not certain – its claim to this record is somewhat uncertain. Others such as the Ye Olde Man & Scythe in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham may have better claims. Even in St Albans, the White Hart and the Fleur de Lys are believed to have been trading as inns in the late medieval period.

One of many ancient buildings on All Saints Street, the 16th-century timber-framed inn was refronted in the 18th century, but many of its original features remain. The preserved bodies of two smoke-blackened mummified cats have been displayed on a wall since their discovery in the 19th century; witchcraft has been suggested as an explanation for this "grisly sight". The inn, which claims to be Hastings' oldest surviving pub, is operated as a tied house by the Shepherd Neame Brewery, and has been listed at Grade II by English Heritage for its architectural and historical importance.
