Description
The Blue Bell Public House is a public house located on High Street in Easton on the Hill. It dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and is constructed from squared coursed limestone, partly banded with ironstone, and features ashlar dressings. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it has been altered to form an irregular T-shape. The building is primarily a single storey with attics and part of it is two-storey.
The central two-window range is the oldest part of the structure. To the left, there is a 19th-century casement window under a wooden lintel, and to the right, a canted bay window with a slate roof. The gabled eaves dormers on the right also feature a 19th-century casement window. The three-window range to the right has a higher eaves level and is likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, constructed of squared coursed limestone banded with ironstone and featuring 19th-century casement windows under wooden lintels. This section has a mansard roof with two hipped roof dormers that include casement windows.
Attached to the left is a 19th-century T-shaped range that faces High Street. Its elevation features a three-window range with two, three, and four-light 19th-century stone mullion windows, a gable to the left, and a gablet to the right. There are stone stacks at the ridge, ends, and apex of the gable. The rear elevation includes a 19th-century stair projection with a tall stone mullion window, and the entrance is located at the rear.
Inside, the ground floor room in the central range retains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer, ceiling beams, and a panelled cupboard door from the 18th century.
