Description

The Foresters Arms Inn is an inn that dates back to the 17th century, with early 18th-century alterations and a 19th-century addition. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and a rear outshut, with a two-by-two bay layout and an added cross-range on the right. Originally, it had a hearth-passage plan.

On the ground floor, there is a blocked chamfered fire window on the left, followed by a board door set in a chamfered quoined surround. Next, there is one bay of 20th-century casement windows within 18th-century ashlar architraves, which were formerly a three-light flat-faced mullion. The right end of the original building has quoins, a board door with a 20th-century casement window above, and a 20th-century casement window in a wide quoined doorway with a deep slab lintel, which was likely originally arched. The gabled cross-range features a board door and a four-pane sash window on the ground floor, along with two four-pane sash windows on the first floor. There are stacks over the fire window, quoins, and on the gable apex of the cross-range.

At the rear, there is a single-light landing window with original lead cames. Inside, in the ground-floor room to the right of the door, there is an 18th-century fireplace with cyma reversa corbels supporting a segmental-arched lintel that is scored to appear joggled, along with stop-chamfered beams. The outshut has very crude branches forming beams, and there is a stone staircase at the far end of the hearth-passage. The inn is named after the Coverdale Foresters' Friendly Society, which was established in 1816 as the Banks of Cover branch of the Ancient Order of Foresters, although this branch later separated.
