The Langport Arms Hotel

The Langport Arms Hotel is a hotel that dates from the late 16th century, with an 18th-century front. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof set between stepped coped gables and stone chimney stacks. The building has two storeys with attics and consists of eight bays. It has a plinth, a moulded eaves course, and rusticated quoins. The 12-pane sash windows, many of which have crown glass, are set in thin architraved openings with small keystones. The upper window in bay 5 has an elliptical arched head, and below it is an elliptical arched doorway with panelled doors, which is protected by a large open stone porch supported by Doric columns and a plain entablature. There are small lead-roofed dormer windows in bays 2, 4, 5, and 7. The rear of the hotel has various extensions from the 18th century and later. Inside, only the public ground floor rooms have been observed, featuring beamed ceilings. The ceiling at the west end is plain chamfered, while the eastern rooms have deep wave-mould beams of two styles. The central room includes fielded wall panelling, and a staircase leading from this room appears to be from the 18th century.
