Gamul House, Medieval pub in Lower Bridge Street, Chester, England.
Gamul House is a medieval pub in Chester featuring three stories with sandstone walls, timber framing, and a brick frontage that contains retail spaces at street level. The building is Grade II* listed and retains its traditional medieval construction methods throughout its structure.
The structure dates to medieval times and was owned by the Gamul family in the early 1600s, giving it its name. A significant moment occurred in 1645 when the English king sought refuge there following a military defeat in the region.
The pub functions as a gathering place where local patrons enjoy regional beverages and traditional English food, reflecting the area's culinary heritage.
The location sits easily accessible along Lower Bridge Street in Chester's historic center. Visitors should note that opening hours vary throughout the week, particularly during evenings and weekends when the crowds tend to increase.
The building houses a rare medieval stone hall with a barrel-vaulted ceiling decorated with eight carved pendants that hang from above. This architectural feature is one of only a few of its kind surviving in the city and often goes unnoticed by visitors.
