Description
The Weymouth Arms Inn is an early to mid-18th century building, with an older central section and two projecting wings. The central part is constructed of coursed rubble stone, with occasional variations in size, set on a splayed plinth and with a moulded drip stone above the ground floor windows. A moulded wooden eaves cornice sits above, with a brick ridge chimney serving an old tile roof. The original fenestration includes two-light stone mullioned casements on the first floor, one casement on the ground floor, and a six-panel door with panelled reveals, set within an architrave.
The wings are an early example of brick facing in Warminster, possibly dating back to around 1749. They stand on a stone plinth, and only the front elevations are brick, with the remainder being coursed local rubble. Rusticated ashlar quoins and an ashlar drip string at first-floor level are present, with a bold moulded cornice on the left-hand wing (now removed from the right-hand wing). The roof is of ripped stone tiles. Each wing, along with the central section, features a dormer with a moulded pediment. The right-hand wing has a two-light casement with a stone architrave and central mullion. The left-hand wing has three glazing bar sash windows with stone architraves on the first floor, and two modern, matching windows on the ground floor. A six-panel door is set within a plain, wide Doric pilaster doorcase with a moulded pediment and a large triple keystone.
The return of the west (right-hand) wing features a fine Venetian window with Doric surrounds, glazing bars, and Gothick tracery incorporating the letters 'W' and 'V' in the head. The return of the east (left-hand) wing is longer and features double-roman tiles. There are two narrow three-light first-floor casements with beaded inner edges and small glazing bar panes among other windows. An arched entrance is located to the southeast, leading into a narrow alleyway between numbers 7 and 12.
The ground floor rooms of the centre and right-hand portions of the building are panelled in a mid-18th century style; the right-hand room includes a bolection surround fireplace, while the left-hand room has a good Tudor arch fireplace from the 16th century, featuring carved spandrels.
