One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Dating back to 1806 and with a low, timbered interior, this pub is mainly of interest for the splendid snug right of the entrance. Created by an old medium-height curved settle, it has a flagstone floor, lovely inglenook fireplace (now occupied by a stove) and wall-bench seating on one side. The settle was repositioned many years ago at the same time that the rest of the layout was opened out.
