One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A 17th. century pub which has been little-altered in over 50 years. The characterful public bar, on the right, was originally two rooms but, in the mid-1960s, a partition and a staircase to the living quarters were removed and the small bar counter was added. The quarry-tiled lounge/dining room on the left has a brick bar and a bar-back using old furniture, both added in the mid-1960s. There are two genuinely old fireplaces.
