The King'S Arms Hotel, With Camilla

The King's Arms Hotel, with Camilla, is a notable building located on the east side of The Square. It consists of two distinct parts, with the left section dating back to the early 17th century. This part is constructed from coursed rubble and features a Cotswold stone roof. It stands three storeys high with two bays, each topped by a large gable. The ground floor has a modern small-paned shop front, while the first floor boasts two 4-light stone mullion and transom casement windows with drip moulds. The second floor has a similar 3-light window. The gables are adorned with verges, small finials, and blind oeuil de boeuf.

The right section appears to be a single build with the same roofline but presents two different visual characters. This part is also early 17th century, seemingly refaced on the right half around 1700. It is three storeys tall with four bays. The left two bays feature stone mullion and transom casements, with 3-light paired windows on the ground and first floors, and a 2-light window above, all with drip moulds. The gables here also have finials and blind oeuil de boeuf, although they are smaller than those on the first section. The right two bays may have been altered from three gabled ones. The ground floor includes a modern 3-light stone mullioned casement with a drip mould, flanked by a plain doorway and a carriageway with a timber lintel. The first floor has 3-light wood mullion and transom flush casements with leaded lights, and a 2-light window on the second floor. A modillion eaves cornice and a tall ashlar stack with weathering complete the exterior, with the south gable featuring a matching finial.

The inn has a rich history, believed to have been thriving by 1666, and possibly older. It is said that Charles I stayed here in 1645, and Robert Haley, who visited in 1708, claimed it was founded in 1548. In the 18th century, it was reputed to be the best inn between London and Worcester. Inside, the first floor features paired 6-panel doors leading to upper reception rooms, both of which have bolection fireplaces. A flight of heavy balusters from around 1700 remains intact, leading to the first floor.
