Talbot Hotel, Malton

The Talbot Hotel is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building straddles the line of the town wall, and the Malton Buildings Group argues that part of the wall may survive in its basement. A large house stood on the site by 1599, elements of which may also survive in the basement. It was purchased by the Strickland baronets in 1672, and was generally used as a guest house for friends of the family visiting the town to hunt and race horses. Between 1740 and 1743, it was converted into a coaching inn. Its first landlord was Walter Baldock, formerly of the town's Talbot Inn, and he named the new business as the "New Talbot Inn". The west wing was extended in about 1775, and in 1808 a third storey was added. By this time, it was served by stagecoaches to Leeds, York, Scarborough and Whitby, and it became known as the "Talbot Hotel". The main block was remodelled in about 1840, and in the 1870s a billiard room was added. In 1946, the hotel was leased to Trust Houses Ltd, which incorporated three neighbouring houses into the property, increasing the total number of bedrooms from 16 to 26. The hotel was grade II* listed in 1951. It was refurbished between 2010 and 2012 and was thereafter managed by the Fitzwilliam Malton Estate. For three years, the hotel's menus were overseen by James Martin. The hotel is mainly built of rendered stone,
