  • Historic Interior

A prominent Grade II listed Young's pub, built in 1740 and rebuilt 1838. A stained glass panel commemorates the site of a convent of the Observant Friars, whose insignia was a white cross. The entrance is reached by steps for good reason: the river often floods here. An island bar serves two side rooms (one a mezzanine); an unusual feature is a working fireplace beneath a window. The ground-level patio bar opens at busy times. Food is available every day.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Dating from 1845, the pub retains some of its 19th century original interior features including a stone surround to an unusually-placed working fireplace underneath a window, and a glazed island servery.

The servery also has an over-bar with the very rare feature of sliding sashes above the counters, although these are now unused and permanently raised, and the counter front has fielded panelling. There's also a mantelshelf on the wall on the right where there would once probably have been a fireplace. The original division of the space is discernible in the ceiling beams and doorway on the left of the servery, which indicate the smaller rooms the ground floor once comprised, which would probably have offered public saloons, private rooms for customers and space for off-sales of alcohol.

The early 19th century staircase with simple moulded newel posts and stick balusters leads up to the dining room which has what looks like an original glazed door and a plain skylight, but no other old features.

General information about historic pub interiors

The pub retains a coherent C19 interior with many original features including a stone surround to an unusually-placed fireplace underneath a window, a mantelshelf, the central bar including over-bar with sliding sashes (a rare feature) and back bar, cornices, a deep-moulded picture rail, architraves and an early C19 staircase with simple moulded newel posts and stick balusters. The original division of the space is readable in the ceiling beams which indicate the smaller rooms the ground floor once comprised, which would have offered public saloons, private rooms for customers and space for off-sales of alcohol. The rooms on the first floor retain some early C19 panelling, doors, architraves, cornices and a single fireplace with original grate and wooden surround in a fluted design with classical paterae.
