It is impossible to say just how old the White Hart Hotel is, as it
would have evolved over the centuries. The town was established
in the 9th century, and there might well have been an inn on this
site to meet local needs and the requirements of travellers from
further afield. The building was given its current facade and name
in about 1730. Since then it has been at the centre of Ampthill and
district life, subject to the needs of each successive age, through
high and low points including fires & dilapidation’s.
