Asset of Community Value

Village pub that was refitted (by M&B?) in c.1960 and is barely altered since. A passage runs down the length of the building and the small public bar off this has a parquet floor, 1960s bar counter with lapped wood frontage and Formica top; bar back shelving with moulding at top, and a small brick fireplace. At the end of the passage is the lounge bar with a sloping c.1960 bar counter with Formica top, small 1930s brick fireplace changed from an inglenook - note the Bessemer beam above. Down another passage to the rear is the beamed small dining room brought into use in recent years.
