York Historic Environment Record

A traditional vernacular building of painted brick and clay pantile roof, with a variety of multi-pane timber windows, including sliding sash, casement, and an oriel window.
The construction date of this building is uncertain but was first mentioned in an 1823 Trade Directory.

The pub was previously known as the Lord Hawke, probably after Martin Hawke (1860-1938), an English amateur cricketer who played for Yorkshire and England. Lord Collingwood refers to vice-admiral Cuthbert Collingwood (1750-1810) who was second in command to Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805) and took command of the fleet during the battle following the death of Nelson.

There is strong communal value through the ongoing use as a community gathering space, and through links with the founding of the Ebor Morris dancing group.
The traditional brick construction, varied historic fenestration and characteristic rural form of the building afford some level of artistic and age value.
