The Duke William Inn is a Grade II listed public house on Well Street in Ainsworth, a village near Radcliffe within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Although dated 1737, it was likely a remodel of an older building and has been subsequently changed.

History

The building carries a "1737" date, but it was probably a reworking of an earlier structure and was altered again later, according to its official listing.[1] Initially founded as a coaching inn, it was subsequently used as the local coroner's court in the 1800s.[2] The 1893 Ordnance Survey map marks the building as the Duke William Inn.[3]

On 29 January 1985, the Duke William Inn was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] It stands close to the Grade II* listed Presbyterian Chapel, another historic building in the village.[4]

Architecture

The building has a symmetrical front and is constructed of painted stone. It has two storeys with two large, widely spaced sash windows, and a sign panel above the doorway. The corners and window surrounds are picked out with plain stonework, and the doorway has a stepped stone feature above it. The roof has a stone gutter and is covered with slate. A date stone above the rear door may read "1662".[5]

Behind the main building is a former stable, probably from the 18th century, built of handmade red brick with stone gable ends, corner stones, and a stone‑slab roof. A later two‑storey extension to the left, built of rubble stone and taller than the original structure, is not considered of special interest.[1]
