The Camden Arms

The Camden Arms is a public house and restaurant, formerly a hotel, dating from the 18th century, with 19th and 20th-century modernisations, the most recent around 1980. The ground floor is made of plastered brick, while the upper part is timber-framed and hung with peg tiles. The building features brick stacks and chimney shafts with some old chimney pots, and it has a peg-tile roof.

The building is a large double-depth structure facing north onto the Upper Green. Much of the original ground floor layout has been altered due to the removal of partitions, creating large bar and restaurant spaces. There were originally two main front doorways separating three front rooms; the right (east) doorway is now blocked. The left end room has an end stack, and the centre room had a stack backing onto the left entrance hall. The rear rooms have similar stacks, while the right front room has an end stack, and the room to the rear, which projects, has a rear stack that likely served as the kitchen.

The building is two storeys high with various 19th and 20th-century service extensions at the rear. The exterior features a regular five-window front, including three canted bays. Two of the bays are full height, while the right one is only single storey. Each bay has ground floor 16-pane sash windows flanked by 8-pane sashes, and first floor 12-pane (4/8) sash windows with flanking 6-pane sashes. The other first floor windows are 19th-century casements with glazing bars. At ground floor level, a 20th-century window blocks the right doorway, which, according to old photographs, was similar to the surviving left doorway, just slightly smaller. There is a part-glazed panelled door behind a large Tuscan porch accessed by three steps, with a moulded entablature that includes a modillion cornice. The eaves are plain, and the roofs are hipped at both ends. A similar style continues around the other sides, although some parts have been replaced in the 20th century.

The interior shows largely the results of 20th-century modernisations, and the roof has not been inspected.
