One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A timber-framed 17th-century pub where the original three rooms survive, along with old fireplaces and fixed seating.

 

On entering, a quarry-tiled passage has a tongue-and-groove ceiling and a glazed hatch to the bar that may have been an off-sales. The old rooms at the front are, firstly, on the right, a snug with old narrow benches - a wide opening has been created to the passage. Next, facing the servery, is a small room with benches all round and an Edwardian-style fireplace. Beyond that, a further plain room has old benches but post-war timbering to the walls and c1960s fireplace. The servery counter and shelves look to be post-war; it now has an island layout that also serves the large modern rear extension.

General information about historic pub interiors

17c three-bay Grade II listed building, timber-framed with brick infill. The entrance, right of centre, leads into a corridor with red-and-black tiled floor. The older part of the pub at the front has a snug to the right of the corridor and the servery and two roooms to the left. There is a window between the servery and the corridor, now not in use for service. The rooms have doorways, but the doors removed.

The snug front-right has old narrow benches with plain panelled backs; there is a brick fireplace which looks post-war. A wide opening has been added to the wall between this room and the corridor, but the room feels essentially intact.

Centre-left, facing the servery, is a narrow room with old benches all round, and an Edwardian style fireplace. Front-left is a further plain room with old benches, some post-war timbering to the walls, and another ca.1960s brick fireplace. The servery at the front of the pub has a counter and shelves, probably from post-war years.

The servery is now an island layout, and both sides lead to a plain modernised opened-out rear room which has a TV and a dartboard. The rear parts of the servery are modern.

The official list entry does not acknowledge the surviving layout and old features inside the pub.
