The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn is a 17th-century inn located in Shenington with Alkerton. It features squared, coursed ironstone construction and a slate roof with brick ridge and end stacks. The building has a three-unit plan, originally two units extended by a further unit, and includes a single-storey rear outshot. It stands two storeys plus an attic and has a four-window range.

There are two entrances: one off-centre to the left in a 20th-century porch with a plank door in a moulded wood frame, and a panelled/glazed door to the right with a wood lintel. The main entrance on the left is flanked by two-light casements with stone flat arches, and there is a two-light casement on the right. The first floor features three 3-light casements with wrought-iron casement fasteners and stone flat arches, along with two 2-light wood casements with wood lintels on the right.

At the rear, there is a single-storey slate-roofed kitchen extension with a panelled/glazed door and wood lintel. The building also has two gabled roof dormers and a small oval window with a stone frame above the main entrance. Inside, there is a stop-chamfered beam. The date stone above the door indicates the year 1700.
