Late 18th-century gritstone building with a 19th-century extension. Note the initials WPT on lintels above doorways which refers to William Paul Thornhill of Stanton Hall - the pub is still owned by the Thornhill family / Stanton Estates. The inner porch with a red quarry tiled floor and a ply panelled dado has an off sales window. The very small snug bar on the right has old bar back shelves with a small till drawer, but the counter was replaced in the early 1990s. The small stone fireplace and settle/pew seating might date from the 1950s. The lounge on the left was originally two small cottages and brought into pub use, possibly in the 1950s (or earlier?). It has a ply panelled bar front with a Formica counter top. The bar back shelves look no older than 1960s work – note the till drawer attached to them. The bench seating is at least 50 years old and the modest fireplace in a stone wall is not that old. The name of the pub comes from a famous racehorse owned by the 4th Duke of Devonshire of nearby Chatsworth House.
