Dawnay Arms, Shipton

The Dawnay Arms is a historic pub in Shipton-by-Beningbrough, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed in about 1730 as a house, later being converted into a pub. It was extended in the 20th century.[1] It lies on the A19 road, and as of 2015 served a variety of food and beers.[2] In 2025, it was registered as an asset of community value, at which time, it hosted live music, charity events, various clubs, and annual beer and music festivals.[3] However, later in the year, it cut its opening times to three days per week.[4] The building has been grade II listed since 1986.[1]

The building is constructed of pink-red brick on a rendered plinth, with a floor band, stepped eaves, and a pantile roof with tumbled-in gables. It has two storeys, three bays and a rear wing on the left. On the front is a gabled porch, and the windows are sashes.[1]
