The Spread Eagle Hotel

The Spread Eagle Hotel is an early 18th-century hotel located on the southwest side of Thame Cornmarket. The building features a rendered exterior, likely over brick, with a plinth and grey brick complemented by red brick dressings. It is three stories high with a five-window range, arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern, and has a three-story, two-window range to the left.

The central entrance consists of an eight-panel door framed by a segmental-headed architrave surround and flanked by rubbed brick Ionic pilasters with painted capitals. These support a cornice with a pulvinated frieze. The ground floor has segmental-headed 18-pane unhorned sash windows, each with a painted wood architrave surround and rubbed-brick segmental heads. A brick cornice separates the ground and first floors. The first and second floors feature segmental-headed 12-pane unhorned sash windows, also with painted wood architrave surrounds and segmental brick heads, along with a brick cornice between these floors and at the base of the panelled parapet.

To the left, there are panelled carriageway doors set within a segmental-headed carriageway arch, with a brick cornice between the ground and first floors. The first and second floors on this side also have 12-pane unhorned sash windows with similar detailing.

Inside, the hotel features a dog-leg staircase at the rear center with a baluster balustrade and fielded wood panelling in the ground floor right room.
