The Richmond Arms

The Richmond Arms is a public house located at 149 High Street in Godalming. It is probably from the early 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition, and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features painted brick in Flemish bond, some Bargate rubblestone, and tile-hanging, with the addition made of brick in Flemish bond and pebbledashed at the front and side. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The main part of the building is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar, and consists of three bays. A lower wing has been added on the left and projects slightly. The main range has a central six-panel door with a hood supported by twisted iron brackets. The flanking windows have flat brick arches, while those above have segmental brick arches, all containing sixteen-pane sashes set in reveals. There is a moulded platband and a gabled dormer on the left, with the roof hipped on that side. The wing features a segment-arched four-pane sash window on the left and a tripartite first-floor window with a twelve-pane sash flanked by four-pane sashes. The eaves are stepped and dentilled, and the roof is hipped on the left, with stacks at the front and rear.

At the rear, the main range is constructed of rubblestone with orangey-red brick quoins and surrounds to three narrow first-floor windows, with the outer windows blocked and the central one featuring an eight-pane sash. There are two old stacks at the eaves. The right return of the main range has some rubblestone at the rear, but is otherwise mid to late 20th-century brick, with the gable tile-hung and decorated with bands of fish-scale tiles and a two-light window. The left return, which is the addition, includes an early 20th-century single-storey addition with a cornice and parapet. On the first floor, there is a tripartite window with an eight-pane window flanked by two-pane sashes, all set in a flush wood architrave, along with an iron sign bracket on the right and stepped dentilled eaves.

The interior has not been fully inspected but is reported to have wide floorboards and oak panelling, which is now covered, on the first floor, as well as old roof timbers.
