One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Built in 1902, this Edwardian pub retains some original features from that time.

On the exterior of this pub - probably built by TH Nowell Parr for Fullers Brewery - there are stone carved heads at the top of windows on the left, and a frieze above a bay window on the right.

Now open plan, it retains the original panelled bar counter (painted a gastro blue-grey) but the bar top looks like a recent addition as does the bar-back fitting. Some walls have original fielded panelling to half-height, while those beneath windows are panelled on the dado. On the far left is a trademark Nowell Parr Tudor-style wooden arch framing a window, and in the centre of the pub is another wide Tudor-style arch that separates to some extent the main bar. On the left the windows have delightful green and yellow banded windows.

On the far right is a lobby with floor to ceiling glazed brick – dark brown on the dado and cream above. The external door here has a circular ‘Private’ etched glass panel, while the left-hand door of the lobby has a ‘Saloon Lounge’ circular panel. At the rear right is the Dovecote  Room, which is a later addition, but the remains of the old dovecote can be seen on the wall above the entrance.
