Description
The Blue Bell Inn is a 17th-century building located on Welland Road in Dogsthorpe. It is dated 1665 and has been enlarged to the west and north in modern times. The inn has two storeys and attics, constructed from rubble and ashlar with a stone slate roof. It features three stone chimneys, three gabled dormers, and three-light mullions. The roof overhangs on a dentil eaves cornice, and there are five windows with alternating three and two-light mullions. To the left, there is a later matching wing. The building has stone quoins and a plinth, and the doorway is topped with a semi-circular wooden hood. Inside, one original fireplace remains, and panelling dated 1594 has been brought from elsewhere. The Blue Bell Inn and No 1 form a group.
