One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A partly early seventeenth-century timber-framed building. It’s included here for the Oak Room, a delightful low-ceilinged lounge accessed on the side via a brick-floored passageway. The walls of this carpeted room have eighteenth-century (or earlier) dark wood panelling and some fixed bench seating along the outside wall. The fielded-panelled counter appears to be interwar, as does the fire-surround and three movable benches which carry a band of pretty decoration. The little alcove is in fact a fairly modern creation. A plan in the modernised public bar at the front, and dating perhaps from the interwar period, shows there was a staircase in this area. The plan also shows that the front bar formerly had three small rooms.
