The Carew Arms And Attached Outbuilding

The Carew Arms is an inn that dates from the mid-18th century and was enlarged in the early and mid-19th century. The building has a roughcast exterior over rubble, with the roughcast render removed and the random rubble wall currently being repointed. Quoin strips distinguish the inn, which features slate roofs and brick stacks at the gable ends. There is an independently roofed outbuilding to the east, which has a hipped roof to the right and a brick stack set in one bay to the right, with a lower ridge linked to the inn.

The plan of the inn consists of three cells and a cross passage, which has been enlarged to a U shape with detached outbuildings linked by a one-bay addition from the early 19th century. The building is two storeys high, with a long three-bay facade for the outbuilding and the inn having one bay and four bays. The early 19th-century windows are three-light leaded casements, and there is a central 18th-century plank door with studs. A flat-roofed wooden porch supported by slender pilasters with splayed plinths and dwarf walls is also present. The outbuilding features two-light casements flanking a loft door on the first floor, a plank door on the ground floor, and a three-light casement flanking a plank door and double doors. An early 19th-century painted inn sign is mounted on a wrought iron support.

Inside, the cross passage and the front room to the left have flagstones and remain relatively unaltered. This building was recorded as The Lions, or 3 Lions, in 1747 and became known as the Carew Arms in 1824.
