The Marmion Arms is timber-framed with overhang and thatched roof. Looks 16th century but has been much restored. {1}{2} Former public house found on West Street, Haltham. The former pub is comprised of two parts forming an L-shaped plan. The eastern part is a timber-framed, two-storey building with a jettied upper storey made of mud and stud and the lower storey of white brick. The roofing is thatched. The base of the building is brick painted black. The northern end is a timber framed half-hipped gable of possible mud and stud, and the southern gable elevation is whitewashed brick. The south-east corner of the lower storey is built of brick, which from interior photographs appears to include the remains of a former chimney. The southern elevation has a single storey extension of red brick with mock Tudor cladding and pantile roof. To the south is a single storey outbuilding of black and white brick and pantiled roof with bricked up windows. Interior is brick and some timber frames, with fireplaces on the western elevation (now bricked up) and in the south-eastern corner. To the west is an adjoining two storey building composed of black and white brick and decorative pantile gable roof with a brick twin stack chimney on the eastern end, with a single storey extension build of black and white brick and pantiled roof. There appears to be former outbuildings to the west, based on historic mapping, which were demolished prior to the construction of the pub building and only the outer façade remains. The building has undergone several alterations during its life, including removal of 20th century pub signage and replacement of windows and doors. Much of the original fabric appears altered. The building was demolished in April 2024. {3}{4} The earliest known reference to the Marmion Arms is from an article published in the Stamford Mercury, dated 29th May 1829. The article regards an inquest into the death of an Elizabeth Leggot, which had been held at the establishment earlier that month. {5} Charles Want is listed as the victualler of the Marmion Arms in White's Directory of 1856, though this had changed to Alfred Goodyear by the time of White’s Directory of 1872. Goodyear is still listed as the victualler in 1882. {6}{7}{8}
