Conversion

This former church was built in 1845 and closed in 1981. It retains the first-floor balcony, but it is not currently in use. There is a raised wooden pulpit where you can sit and admire the whole pub. Many original features have been retained by Wetherspoon's, such as fine stained-glass windows.
