The Moorcock Inn is a historic pub in Darncombe-cum-Langdale End, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed as a farmhouse, although it also operated as a pub from an early date. Some sources claim it was built in 1640, but Historic England dates it to the late 18th century. [1] [2] It was named for a racehorse which won the Richmond Gold Cup three years in a row. [3] The pub was extended in the 19th century, and again in the 20th century. [1] From 1893 until 1989, it was operated by the Martindale family. It was restored in 1992, with the serving areas being extended. In 2014, its main room did not have a bar, with drinks instead being served at a hatch. It had a bar billiards table, and also possessed a tea room. The pub closed in 2020. [2] [4] [5] The building has been grade II listed since 1987. [1]

The building is constructed of sandstone with stepped eaves and a pantile roof. The main block has two low storeys, two bays, with flanking single-storey extensions. On the front are two doorways, and the windows are sashes, mainly horizontal-sliding, those in the ground floor with tooled stone lintels, and in the upper floor the lintels are timber. Inside, there is a 19th-century range by Candler of Scarborough, and an early ladder stair to the loft. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">King and Queen, Brighton</span> Pub in Brighton, England

The King and Queen is a pub in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, a "striking" architectural "pantomime" by the prolific local firm Clayton & Black, dates from the 1930s, but a pub of this name has stood on the site since 1860—making it one of the first developments beyond the boundaries of the ancient village. This 18th-century pub was, in turn, converted from a former farmhouse. Built using materials characteristic of 16th-century Vernacular architecture, the pub is in the Mock Tudor style and has a wide range of extravagant decorative features inside and outside—contrasting with the simple design of the neighbouring offices at 20–22 Marlborough Place, designed a year later. English Heritage has listed the pub at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
