George House pub sign on an ornate wrought-iron bracket in the Hampshire village of Hambledon with St George and the Dragon, England, UK

---

George House was an 18th century coaching house with a stable yard and an ornate wrought-iron bracket for its sign. Here the old Cricket Club held its annual dinners in the 18th century. The Hambledon Hunt Balls were held here in the 19th century. Over the centuries the coach left daily to catch the Portsmouth to London stage-coach near Petersfield. The old George Hotel has been refurbished as residential units.
