The Royal Arms Public House

The Royal Arms Public House, located at No 92 East Street, is a Grade II* listed building with an 18th-century front that conceals an earlier timber-framed structure believed to date from 1591, possibly with an even older core. The building features a steeply pitched tiled roof with a hip at the western end and two flat-roofed dormers with glazing bars. It stands three storeys high with an attic and has a stuccoed exterior. A moulded cornice with modillions is present below the eaves.

The stuccoed front has first and second floors that overhang, supported by Doric columns with a moulded frieze beneath. The upper floors contain one window and a three-light canted bay window, both featuring sash windows with flush boxes, flat arches, and intact glazing bars. There is one sash window on both the first and second floors to the east, with windows set in reveals that also have flat arches and intact glazing bars. The ground floor showcases a shop front from around 1800, flanked by doorways. The shop front includes an oriel window with five canted sides and intact glazing bars. On the eastern side, there are two recessed doors with six panels, some of which are moulded, each topped with a rectangular fanlight. On the western side, three steps lead up between the aforementioned columns to a modern glazed door with a rectangular fanlight featuring tracery above, with a similar door immediately adjacent to the west.

Inside, the front room on the first floor boasts a fine late 16th-century plaster ceiling, reputedly created by Italian craftsmen, and there is a carved wooden bracket in the kitchen on the south side of the first floor.
