Queens Arms Hotel

The Queens Arms Hotel is a public house dating from the late 18th century, which incorporates elements of an earlier house and has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th century. It is built of red brick that rises from a shallow stone plinth laid in Flemish bond, featuring gable chimneys with ornamental caps and a roof covered in Staffordshire blue tiles. The building has a linear plan with a central entrance and parallel rear ranges that enclose a narrow yard.

The front elevation faces south and consists of two storeys with three bays. The central doorway is situated beneath a shallow bracketed canopy. There is a wide storey band with a moulded surround for the inn sign positioned above the doorway, which continues to the door surround below. The entrance features a four-panel door flanked by stacked three-light casement windows with segmentally-arched heads. While the eaves band is concealed by gutters, it is clearly expressed on the west gable, which has a blocked ground floor opening and a small two-light attic casement.

To the north-west corner of the gable, there is a two-bay range with a central ridge stack and gablets above each first-floor two-light window. Inside, the ground floor has been altered to create bar areas for the public house, but it retains heavy spine beams and flat joists. The late 19th-century surrounds to the hearths are present, while the first-floor rooms feature beamed ceilings and one ovolo-moulded spine beam. The attic has a lime-ash floor and a single purlin roof, along with wide-boarded doors and a fragment of late 17th-century oak panelling. The Queens Arms Hotel is a relatively unaltered example of a late 18th-century vernacular house, which still incorporates elements of an earlier dwelling and retains much of its original layout despite its current use as a public house.
