Description
The Norfolk Arms Public House is a coaching inn that dates back to 1823, with alterations made in the late 19th century and the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings and features hipped Welsh slate roofs. The building has four ridge stacks, three wall stone stacks, and two louvred vents on the left side.
The structure is two storeys high. The front facing High Street has seven windows arranged in a pattern of 2:3:2. The slightly projecting three-window centre includes a central stone porch that is flat-roofed and single-storey, featuring a blocking course, plain square columns, and 20th-century margin light glazing. This porch is flanked by single plain horned sash windows, with three similar windows above. Each wing has two similar sashes on both floors, and all windows are topped with painted ashlar lintels and sills.
On the left return, there is a doorway set in a flush ashlar surround with an overlight, accompanied by a small casement window followed by two large casement windows, with three plain horned sashes above. The right return, which faces Norfolk Street, features a central doorway beneath a single-storey flat roof porch that has a dentilled cornice supported by square Tuscan Doric columns. This porch includes moulded round arches with moulded imposts and stressed keystones. To the left is a single plain horned sash window, while to the right is a large former shop window with a former doorway to the left and three round-headed lights to the right, all within a plain pilaster surround topped with a moulded fascia board. Above this, there are three plain horned sashes and a small inserted casement window.
The interior was refitted in the late 20th century.
