The Punch Bowl Inn is a historic pub in Marton cum Grafton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was originally constructed in the 16th century, probably as a two-bay house; this oldest section is timber framed. In the 18th century it was greatly extended and converted into a coaching inn. In the 20th century, it was extended to the rear and to the right.[1] In the 1950s and 1960s, it operated as a roadhouse near the Great North Road, and had a motoring theme.[2] The building was grade II listed in 1984.[1] In the 2010s, the pub was owned by Neil Morrissey, and during this period it appeared in a Channel 4 programme.[3][4] It was purchased by Provenance Inns in 2017, and in 2022 it won Best Food Offer at the Publican Awards.[5]
The pub is rendered, and has a pantile roof. The original part has a timber framed core and a high plinth. There are two storeys and three bays. The doorway has an architrave and an oblong fanlight, the windows are sashes, those on the upper floor horizontally-sliding, and on the roof is a modern dormer.[1]
