The Great White Horse Hotel is a historic inn in the town centre of Ipswich, Suffolk, England. A hotel has existed on the site since 1518. Previously the site – located on the corner of Tavern Street and Northgate Street – had been used as a tavern in medieval times.[1] It is a 16th or 17th century timber framed building refronted in the early 19th century. It featured in Charles Dicken's Pickwick Papers. On 19 December 1951 it became a Grade II* listed building.[2] It is on the Heritage at Risk Register and is priority A.[3] It is in the Central Conservation Area.[4] The Great White Horse Hotel has hosted George II, Lord Nelson and the Beatles.[5]
