The Saracens Head Hotel

The Saracens Head Hotel is a hotel and public house that was formerly a coaching inn. It dates from the early 18th century but has older origins. The building is constructed of coursed squared ironstone and features plain-tile roofs with brick ridge stacks. It is two storeys high with an attic and has a seven-window range.

A central carriage arch has a timber lintel and double-leaf panelled doors, with a wicket door to the left. There are 15-pane sash windows to the left and right of the arch, both with stone lintels and keyblocks. A canted bay window is located between the windows on the ground floor to the left. The remaining windows on the ground and first floors are 12-pane sash windows, also with stone lintels and keyblocks, except for a round-arched window above the arch, which is flanked by niches holding fine lead statuettes of Venus on the left and Apollo with a harp on the right, reputed to have come from Easton Neston. The building features a chamfered plinth, a storey band, and moulded stone eaves. Hipped roof dormers have diamond leaded windows. There is a single-storey extension to the right, likely added as an assembly room.

Inside, the dining room has a barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling. The hotel was recommended by Sam Weller in Charles Dickens' "Pickwick Papers" as a place where a 'very good little dinner' could be prepared in half an hour.
