Dating back to 1649 when it was a coaching house on the post road to South Wales. In 1822 & 1823 the coaches going to Gloucester & Hereford left from The George & in 1876 the Ledbury-Gloucester mail coach called at The George. In 1876 the Inland Revenue office was located here.
The George had a period of abandonment from the 1930’s to the 1960’s when it was completely refurbished the archway of the original stables still visible. During renovation works in 1969 40 gold guineas & 4 half guineas were found beneath the hearth of the western fireplace in the lounge bar. They were offered to museums including the British Museum the finders then told that they could keep them.
The original landlord was Edward Draper when it was taken over by his son Richard after his death. From 1885 it was even run by the same family until the 1930’s. Today it’s run by Dan Yeandle taking over from his father Rhodri Yeandle.
