The Blue Bell Inn is a historic pub in Ingleby Cross, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England.
The pub was constructed in 1912, to a design by Walter Brierley.[1] Its stone was reused from an earlier inn, which was demolished when the road was widened.[2] As originally designed, the pub had a common room, parlour, and accommodation for the pub landlord all on the ground floor, and a hall on the first floor. Attached stables were designed to provide shelter from the north and east winds. The building was grade II listed in 1990.[2] It lies on the Coast to Coast Walk, and is mentioned in Alfred Wainwright's book, which originated the trail.[3]
The pub has a pantile roof with a stone ridge and an L-shaped plan. The south front has two storeys and five bays, and a slightly projecting single-storey right wing. Most of the windows are horizontally-sliding sashes, some with keystones. On the left is a yard wall with a shed, and the single-storey outbuilding range. Inside, original features include the decorative inner porch door, a simple stone fireplace in the main bar area, and a smaller fireplace in a wooden inglenook frame. The bar is panelled, and there is a staircase in the Carolean style, described by Historic England as "splendid".[2][4]
