Full Description

This two storey rubble building originally comprised an early 19th century house at the east end and a large barn or workshop on the west, both under a continuous roof. Soon afterwards the barn was converted into two houses and later it was converted to its present use as an inn. There are also two single storey outbuildings attached to the east of the house. This street is part of the early 19th century New Town development. {1} The Hit or Miss Inn was assessed by English Heritage in October 2013, for adding to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. It was decided that the criteria for listing was not met in this instance, as the building has seen considerable alteration, both internally and externally, and has limited historic interest. The building was deemed to be of clear local interest however, contributing to the aesthetic value of the streetscape. The building is thought to date originally to the early 19th century, and was built as a dwelling with an associated barn or workshop within the area of Stamford known as New Town, an early 19th century expansion of the town. Soon after, the building was converted to two dwellings and since the early 20th century has been used as a public house. It is built in the local vernacular style of coursed limestone rubble, with ashlar quoins and lintels in the two-storey range, and wooden lintels in the single-storey range. The two-storey range is roofed in modern clay tiles, with clay pantiles on the single-storey range. All windows and doors are modern replacements. Several modern, rendered, flat-roofed additions have been added to the rear of the building. {2}
