One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Occupying a 16th century timber building, the pub retains three distinct areas around what appears to be the remains of a central drinking corridor. It's a hotchpotch of ages but some of the counter-front, ply walls anddoors are from a late 50s, early 60s refit. The toilets and access corridor are all new. The front bar was formerly at least two rooms, the western left end being a Jug and Bottle. The most interesting part of the building is a medieval undercroft or vaulted chamber with ribs and a central boss.
