The Spotted Cow is a historic pub in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The age of the building is uncertain; Historic England describes it as being 18th century "or possibly earlier", [1] while the Gazette and Herald describes it as being 16th century. [2] It was first recorded as a beer house in 1807, and was licensed as a public house in 1869. [3] It was extended during the 19th century, and much of its interior survives from this period. The building was grade II listed in 1974. [1] It was purchased by a brewery in 1988, later passing to Punch Taverns. [4] It closed in 2018 for refurbishment, the work including the conversion of the pool room into a lounge. It is a Tetley Heritage Pub. [2]
The pub is built of colourwashed render, with a rear extension in brick, an eaves cornice, and a pantile roof. There are two storeys, two bays, and a rear wing. The doorway has panelled pilasters and a cornice, and the windows are sashes with wedge lintels. Two of the windows have glass reading "TAP ROOM" and "SMOKE ROOM", and there is a carved timber pub sign, showing a spotted cow. [1]
