One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The area entered from the hallway has seen much change in recent years, with a former Men Only snug now incorporated into the lobby and only some of the fittings hanging on, including the bar counter with remnants of sliding sashes. The two rooms to the right, though, have much to commend them. The first has walls and ceilings finished in Lincrusta, brass bell-pushes, fitted seating and a stained glass panel above the door. In the other is more Lincrusta, more bell-pushes and match-boarded walls - a rear extension accommodates a food servery. It is said to have been licensed since 1776.

General information about historic pub interiors

Claims to date from 1776. Entrance hallway opens into former central corridor. The original layout of three rooms and a lobby was changed in the 1990s when a Bass refurbishment included the removal of the wall separating the tiny 'Men Only' snug. Corridor has been opened out to left. At front, residual fitted seating with brass bell-pushes. Original bar counter has remnants of sliding sashes with stained glass, but the bar back is a replacement.

Two good rooms to the right. Front room called 'Lords' has stained glass panel above doorway, short screen to right of door, re-upholstered fitted (post-war?) seating, matchboard panelling on walls, ceiling finished in Lincrusta, brass bell-pushes, and reproduction fireplace. Second, ‘smoking room’ now called 'Commons' has stained glass panel above doorway, short screens on either side of door. Re-upholstered fitted (post-war?) seating, walls matchboarded, Lincrusta ceiling, brass bell-pushes, and reproduction fireplace but it has good relief tiled panels. Extended to the rear, where there is now a food servery.
