13/10/52 The Cricketer's Arms Hotel and
attached iron chain and sign

II

Hotel and public house. Although the outside is dated 1886,
the building probably dates from the late C17, added to in
1790, when it was renamed "The Cricketers", and again in 1824.
Stucco; painted cobbles with painted brick dressings and
lacing courses to the stable block on the north; brick in
Flemish bond to left return of hotel. Roof obscured by
parapet.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement. 2-window range. Stable also
has 3 storeys, but it is on a much smaller scale than the
other block, its front wall set slightly back; one-window
range. Entrance to public house in left block through a
segmental-arched opening with one segmental-arched window to
either side. The ground floor dates to 1886; the upper floors
to 1824. Above are a pair of 2-storey, full-height bays, the
windows of which are flat-arched and tripartite. On the second
floor between the bays is one blocked, camber-arched window.
Stacks to end and party walls. The public house has been
expanded into the ground floor of the stable block to the
north which dates to the late C18. The original carriage
entrance is segmental arched.
This area, called the "Green Yard" was used as an animal pound
as late as 1882; there is brick lacing course between the
ground and first floors and between first floor and gabled
second floor. There is, in addition, a brick lintel band to
the triple windows of the first floor. The single window of
the second floor abuts the brick coping of the brick gable,
which is truncated. Stacks to party wall.
INTERIOR: the pub interior dates to 1886 and retains many
original fittings. Outside the entrance of the former stable
doors is its original securing chain. Attached to the wall are
a list of stable charges.
