Butchers Arms

The Butchers Arms is a public house dating from the 17th century. It features painted rubblestone with painted slate hanging on the first floor at the front. The roof is covered with bitumous coated slate and has gable ends with rendered rubblestone stacks. The building has a single depth plan that extends to a double depth with a further projecting wing at the rear on the north side.

It stands two storeys high with a regular three-window front. The ground floor has two 2-light casements without glazing bars on either side of a rubblestone porch, which has a gabled slate roof and a six-panelled door. To the right of the porch is a three-light casement, also without glazing bars. Above, there are three mid-19th century 2-light casements with glazing bars.

There is a single-storey extension on the right-hand gable end and a mounting block in front of the left-hand gable end. The rear projecting wing has a painted slate-hung first floor and features 19th and 20th-century casements. Inside, the left-hand front room has chamfered ceiling beams, and there is a later granite lintel above the fireplace on the right-hand gable end. The upper floors were not inspected. An early photograph of the Butchers Arms can be found in Mary French's book, "A Victorian Village: A Record of the Parish of Quethiock in Cornwall," published in 1977.
