The Talbot is one of Ledbury's several timber-framed public houses. It dates from c.1536 and much work was done on the main, north-facing, elevation in the C17. The close studding is filled with plaster at the front, with brick infills on the rear elevations. One of the finest features of the exterior is the canted bay on the first floor. It is reached by the stairs that are expressed on the main elevation to the right of the bay. Below the bay is the main entrance flanked by Ionic pilasters. The white painted building with the brick gable end, to the extreme left of the black and white work, is also part of the pub and dates from the eighteenth century.
