Description

The Bingley Arms is a public house located on Church Lane in Bardsey-cum-Rigton. It features an initialled and dated "A" and has a mid-19th century extension, with the roof raised from its original 1738 structure, along with a mid-20th century extension. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. It has a three-cell lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with a rear basement, built on a hill.

The facade consists of four bays, with an additional cell added to the left end. The building has quoins and a doorway at the left end, along with an inserted doorway between the second and third bays. The original doorway, which is blocked, is located at the junction with the fourth bay and features a raised surround and lintel with a false keystone, above which is a date plaque. The first three bays have four-light flat-faced mullioned windows with an inner chamfer and raised plain-stone surrounds on each floor. The fourth bay has a 20th-century extension that is in keeping with the original design, featuring a cat-slide roof. Regularly spaced rectangular gutter brackets are present, and there are two ashlar ridge stacks, one at the junction of the third and fourth bays and one on the right gable.

At the rear, there are four irregularly spaced bays. A central doorway with a stair window above contains stained glass featuring a heraldic coat of arms. The 19th-century windows have 16-pane sashes and flush-wood architraves.

Inside, the building has been much altered, though some original features remain. The second cell has a large fireplace with a wide segmental arch, voussoirs, and skewbacks, all with a chamfered surround. The third cell includes a 19th-century fireplace with monolithic jambs and a lintel, which retains a decorative cast-iron Dutch oven.
