The Plough Inn is a historic Grade II listed public house situated in the heart of Norwood Green, opposite St Mary's Church. Local tradition suggests that a pub has stood on the site since around 1360, while the present timber-framed building dates largely from the 17th century, with later Victorian alterations.
Inside, exposed wooden beams, low ceilings and original timber framing reflect the building's considerable age, alongside a more modern interior. Traditional features include horse brasses and a welcoming village pub atmosphere.
To the rear is a spacious garden with extensive covered seating, providing an outdoor area suitable for year-round use. Both the original front entrance and the rear garden entrance remain open and in use.
Historic Interest
The Plough Inn is believed to be Fuller's oldest public house, with local tradition suggesting an inn has stood on the site since around 1360, although this remains unverified. The present timber-framed building dates largely from the 17th century and was designated Grade II listed in 1981. The building retains original timber framing in the bar and cross passage, with a roughcast exterior, tiled roof and low ceilings. Significant Victorian alterations included extensions, dormer windows and a chimney stack. A former brick-built stable block is also recorded in the listing. Historically, the pub also operated as a shop and had a bowling green in its rear grounds. Records identify John Filby as landlord in 1821 and George Roberts in 1896, while the Dean family reportedly held the licence for over 70 years. Wooden bricks were also discovered during renovations in the 1970s. Situated opposite the medieval St Mary's Church, the Plough remains an important part of Norwood Green's historic village character.
