It clearly was a pub at some stage but now it's a guest house / part of the café below.
Rye, East Sussex.

St. Mary's church is surrounded by Church Square. A delightful rectangular cocktail of architecture, through the ages.

Perched on top of a hill in Rye, is St. Mary's church. Work started on the building in the early 12th century.
According to their website, the worst disaster happened in 1337, when Rye was looted and set on fire by the French. The church bells were removed and taken off to France. Not to be outdone, men from Rye and Winchelsea went off to Normandy the next year and it wasn't for the cuisine. They set light to a couple of towns and repatriated the loot and the church bells, back to Rye!
If you are feeling brave, have a head for heights and can wriggle through small-ish spaces, then the bell tower is open for visitors. There's a couple up at the top in this shot. My better half is always up for a challenge, so off we went to make the ascent. More on that, later.

Here's a rather charming building in Rye, East Sussex. Once an apothecary shop and now a café, parading its history under the beautiful bow fronted window. Lovely design on the door glass too.
