Description
The Whitmore Arms Public House is a public house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a steeply pitched slate roof with brick end stacks. The building has a T-plan layout and stands two storeys tall, with a five-window range. There is a blocked entrance off-centre to the left, which has a wooden lintel, and a 19th-century porch on the right. The ground floor includes seven blocked windows with wooden lintels, a canted bay window, a 20th-century two-light casement window, and two additional blocked openings, all featuring wooden lintels. The eaves are moulded wood, and there is a cornice and limestone quoins. The Whitmore Arms was named after Thomas Whitnore, who resided at Hethe House from 1808 to 1811. The interior includes chamfered beams.
