The Foresters Arms is a historic pub on Village Street in Carlton, a village in Coverdale, North Yorkshire, England.
The building was constructed in the 17th century, as a single-roomed farmhouse.[1] Standing on the route from Lancaster and Middleham,[2] the owner began making money by selling ale to travellers. In the early 18th century, a bar room was added, and stabling and accommodation was offered, the property becoming an inn.[1] Originally known as the "Hare and Hounds", and then as "The Board",[3] it was renamed in the 1840s for the Coverdale Foresters' Friendly Society, a branch of the Ancient Order of Foresters which became independent.[4] The local branch of the foresters maintains a tradition of an annual parade starting from the pub.[5]
The building was altered in the 1980s and reorganised and refurbished in 1990. In 2003, the Wensleydale Brewery was founded at the pub.[6] In 2011, the local community raised £350,000 to purchase the pub and run it as a community co-operative.[3]
The building is constructed of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. There are two storeys, four bays, a rear outshut, and a cross-range on the right. The doorways have quoined surrounds, one is also chamfered. The windows in the main range are casements, some with architraves, and in the cross-range are sash windows. It has been Grade II listed since 1967.[4]
