Description
The Foresters Arms is a late 17th-century inn located on Church Street in Atworth. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and stone stacks. The building is two stories high and has three windows across its front. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door topped with a flat stone hood supported by brackets. To the left of the door is a three-light beaded mullioned casement window, while to the right are two fixed windows with six panes each, both featuring dripstones. On the first floor, there is a three-light beaded mullioned casement and two recessed two-light cyma-mullioned casements to the right, one of which has a hoodmould. The quoins above the door indicate that the right part of the first floor is a later addition compared to the left. The left side of the building has a small horizontal sash window, and there is a rear parallel range that includes four-pane sash windows.
