Description

The Marton Arms Inn is an inn dated 1679, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from limewashed rubble with painted stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance is located within a gabled porch that features a datestone inscribed with "M 1679 T." The entrance has a moulded surround and a decorated lintel, although the inscription above is partly obscured by the porch. The door is made of planks.

On the ground floor, the flanking windows are large, mid-19th century, two-light flat faced mullioned sashes with glazing bars on the left and 20th century casements on the right. The upper floor has three windows: two are late 17th century two-light flat faced mullioned, and one is a former three-light chamfered mullion with only the left-hand mullion remaining; these also have 20th century casements. Above the entrance, there is an early 20th century heraldic panel that presumably depicts the arms of Marton. The building features gable end ridge stacks.
