Description
The Marlborough Tavern, formerly known as the Marlborough Arms Public House, is a public house dating from the early 19th century, with alterations made by W.B. Rolfe in 1920. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and rubblestone, with a double-pitched roof covered in double Roman tiles. The building has a moulded stack to the right of the front range.
The building is three storeys and has an attic, originally with a two-window front. A coped parapet rises over the gable ends of the right return. There is a stopped cornice and a ground floor platband over a bressumer. The windows are plate glass sashes, with those on the upper floors to the left having extended sills, likely intended for tripartite windows. Paired windows are present on the ground floor to the left. The right return features a lower rear range and a single-storey rear wing. A late 19th-century shopfront is located to the right, with a moulded fascia supported by four engaged columns with foliate capitals, plinths, and blocks to the centres, two flanking the door and overlight and two flanking a plate glass shop window and overlight. The interior has not been inspected. Drawings relating to the 1920 alterations are held in the British Architectural Library.
