One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The 'Bar Parlour' here is a rare example of a country pub public bar hardly altered in 100 years. The door to the left of the etched and frosted bay window leads into a splendid little room retaining an old counter and bar back shelves, full height tongue-and-groove panelling with bare benches attached and two old scrubbed tables. The flagstone floor was fitted in the 1970s on top of the original brick floor. The brick fireplace is of no great age. Elsewhere, the lounge has a good carved wood fireplace but the other fittings are modern. A former club room is now the small area where the dining room starts.

General information about historic pub interiors

A visit to the small 'Bar Parlour' of the Queen's Head is a must to see a very rare country pub public bar virtually unchanged for 100 years. The door to the left of the bay window with its etched and frosted 'Bar Parlour' window, a replacement of the original and fitted in the 1970s, leads into a small flagstone floored bar which was laid on top of the original brick floor in the 1970s. This splendid room retains an old counter, old bar back shelves, full height tongue-and-groove panelling throughout with bare benches attached and two old scrubbed tables; only the brick fireplace appears to be different.

Historically the pub consisted of the bar, an off-sales and a club room. The off-sales survived until the 1980s and was accessed via a door and ran down the left side of what is now the lounge, but was formerly the living room. The lounge has a good carved wood fireplace but the other fittings are modern. The former club room is now the small area at the beginning of the dining room at the rear right which retains an old brick fireplace.
