An unchanged rural pub, run by the same family since 1956. Visitors can soon find themselves in conversation with the locals. There is no TV, music or gaming machines, just the ticking of a seven-day mill clocking-in clock. Other textile mill memorabilia are displayed, including a textile yard quadrant. An impressive collection of Corgi buses features in the side lounge, which doubles as the family room. Beware of the witch seemingly hovering over the bar on her broomstick.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
The building itself dates from 1704 but what you see today results from alterations carried out shortly after the family that still owns the pub took over. The main structural change was removal of the wall between the former entrance corridor and public bar; the counter and most of the fittings (which are quite basic) are from the same time. The lounge is not always in use.
Stone built house said to be dated 1704 attached to a farm and which has been a pub for many years. It has been in the same family ownership since 1955 and is currently run by Britain’s oldest licensee aged 94.Enter the pub and on the left is a full height part glazed screen that formed part of the central entrance passage. The present layout is unchanged since 1956 and consists of a small public bar on the left and a small lounge on the right. The public bar has a fielded panelled bar counter added in 1956; a bar back from 1956 with a till drawer, cupboard and shelves with Formica on them in the lower part and glass shelves above that were popular in the early 1960s. The stone fireplace is from 1956 and still has a Cannon Gas Miser fire; and fixed seating looks from 1956. Double doors lead to the lounge with a stone fireplace that could be later than 1956 with a modern log stove; also bench seating. The gents’ has a terrazzo floor and two urinals that look interwar or earlier; ladies’ are modern.Closed Mon to Wed, it opens at 7pm Thu to Sat and at 12noon on Sunday.
