The Little Thatch (also known as The Thatch Inn) is a 14th-century timber-framed building at 141 Bristol Road, Quedgeley, Gloucester. It is now used as a public house and hotel.
The buildings were built in 1351, [1] both having thatched roofs, and were known as Queen Anne's Farm, Goulding's Farm (1884 map) and Read's Farm. [2] In 1535, it is rumoured Anne Boleyn stayed here when Henry VIII and herself passed through Quedgeley. It was extended in the 19th and 20th century, then since 1967 it has been used as a public house and hotel. [3]
From 1970, the Inn was operated by Jacky McDougall. The building was Grade II listed on 30 September 1985. [4] In 2015, The Hotel Inspector filmed in the Little Thatch to help the former owner. In 2018, the Inn was sold to the Hatton Collection for £800,000. [5]
Originally built as two separate single storey semi-detached houses, it consisted of a timber-frame in-filled with brick, a brick chimney and a thatched roof. Later, expansion work added a second storey and the thatched roof was replaced with plain tiles. The building faces west towards the road and at the front on the left-hand side there are two original large timber-framed gabled roof dormers with casement windows, on the right there are two more however these are brick additions with applied timber-framing. On the north side, there is a half-hipped timber-framed gable end that leans inwards, and a raking dormer with two more small casement windows located towards the back of the building. Also on the north side is a ridge mounted brick chimney which would have originally been three diagonal brick shafts. On the east side, there is timber-framed gable above a flat roofed addition. [4]

The King and Queen is a pub in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, a "striking" architectural "pantomime" by the prolific local firm Clayton & Black, dates from the 1930s, but a pub of this name has stood on the site since 1860—making it one of the first developments beyond the boundaries of the ancient village. This 18th-century pub was, in turn, converted from a former farmhouse. Built using materials characteristic of 16th-century Vernacular architecture, the pub is in the Mock Tudor style and has a wide range of extravagant decorative features inside and outside—contrasting with the simple design of the neighbouring offices at 20–22 Marlborough Place, designed a year later. English Heritage has listed the pub at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
