Greyhound and Punchbowl Inn, Historic pub in Bilston, England.
The Greyhound and Punchbowl Inn is a pub and manor house in Bilston featuring a timber frame structure on an ashlar base with wooden-mullioned windows and leaded glazing across two stories. It is protected as a Grade II* listed building.
The building was constructed around 1450 as Stoke Heath Manor House and received its pub license in 1810. Major restoration work took place in 1936.
The interior features a Jacobean plaster ceiling and a carved overmantel from the 16th century, both showing the skill of craftspeople from that era. These decorations reflect the tastes and abilities of the people who once lived here.
The building requires structural maintenance work and may have limited accessibility in some areas. Visitors should be prepared for any ongoing work when visiting.
During renovation work in 1936, construction teams discovered coins from the reigns of George III and Louis XVI beneath the floorboards. These finds suggest the building had been home to people with wide-ranging connections over the centuries.
