Was in the Partridge family for 100 years until 1987 (they sold it in 1974 but continued to run it.) This village pub was revamped in the 1960s and is not changed since and is an example of how many pubs expanded in the 1960s. The front left dining room was formerly an office as the former licensees ran a wheelwrights and undertakers business from the pub. The laying out or wake table is still in the public bar. A small flat roof extension was added in the mid 1960s to create an extra room. The public bar was expanded in size and has a new quarry tiled floor, a stone bar, chunky wood timbers and ceiling & wall decoration. The old stone fireplace remains and there is another smaller stone fireplace with a bread oven. The parlour on the right has bare wood floor, a wooden counter (dated ?) and was two small rooms, possibly domestic, before the 1960s. There is a skittle alley in the rear buildings. There were casks on the back of the bar until the mid 1990s.
