Description
The Old Kings Arms is an 18th-century former public house located on High Street in Foulsham. The building is double fronted and has two storeys made of colourwashed brick, topped with a black and red pantiled roof. The early 19th-century section facing the road features storey height splayed bay windows with sash windows on either side of a central half-glazed panel door, which is framed by a timber doorcase. Gable chimneystacks are present on the roof.
At the rear, there is a range dating from around 1700, which includes modillion and dentil eaves, a stringcourse, a gable chimneystack, and brick tumbling-in. This section also has two early 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars, as well as re-used 18th-century reticulated tracery windows on the rear lean-to. The interior retains original settles and other details. The history of the building is documented in Reverend Thomas Quarles' "History and Antiquities of Foulsham," published in 1842.
