Description

The Apple Tree Inn is a public house located on the north side of Lechlade Road in Buscot. It dates back to the 18th century and features a range of rubble stone construction with dressed stone quoins and a gabled stone tiled roof. In 1863, the building was enlarged with an east addition made of colourwashed brick and a gabled machine tiled roof. The original 18th-century section is two storeys high and has a two-window range, including two gabled stone tiled dormers and end brick stacks, with the western stack resting on a stone base. The windows have blocked dressings and modern two- and three-light casements with single glazing bars. The doorway has a moulded architrave and a modern door. The 19th-century addition is also two storeys and consists of three bays, featuring a modern door in the left-hand bay. The interiors of both sections have been fully modernised. The inn was previously known as The Campbell Arms, named after Robert Tertuis Campbell, who acquired Buscot Park in 1859 and enlarged the premises in 1863 to accommodate his estate workers.
