Description
The Marlborough Arms Hotel and One Village is a hotel that now also includes a shop, dating from around 1750 but with earlier origins. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features gabled concrete tile roofs and brick stacks, arranged in a courtyard plan. The front of the building showcases a Georgian-style design.
No. 28 is a three-storey, symmetrical four-window range, characterized by raised chamfered quoin strips and a raised storey band. Large flat hoods supported by scrolled wrought-iron brackets cover the panelled double doors, which are set in a moulded stone architrave. The six-pane sash windows, which have thick glazing bars, feature keyed stone lintels and are early 18th century. A moulded cornice is located beneath a rendered brick architrave.
To the right, No. 26 is a three-storey and attic, two-window range with similar sash windows. It has a segmental-arched carriage arch framed architecturally with Tuscan pilasters leading to a moulded entablature, a storey band, and a late 18th-century dentilled wood cornice. There are also two hipped roof dormers.
The mid-18th-century rear left wing is two-storey-and-attic with a four-window range, featuring a canted bay window with a Venetian doorway flanked by sashes with thick glazing bars. Segmental arches are present over 19th-century two-light first-floor casements, and there are hipped roof dormers from the 18th century.
The interior contains mid-18th-century six-panelled doors throughout. A room to the left features fine mid-18th-century panelling with pilasters framing a keyed niche and a marble fireplace with a bracketed mantel. The rear hall includes early 19th-century quarter-turn stairs with stick balusters and a mid-18th-century stone fireplace, which has "Marlborough Arms" set in the overmantle in the rear room.
Historically, the building was mostly constructed in the 1750s and was formerly known as the George Inn, which was recorded in 1469. During the 1750s, The Plough Inn, now known as Fox House and No. 32, was demolished and rebuilt, while The George was refronted to become the Marlborough Arms Hotel. The main elevation of the building was previously topped with a pediment.
