  • Historic Interior

This Pub is Closed Long Term

Tucked behind St.Mary's Church, a gem of a small old timbered Flowers pub where, thankfully, little has changed for many a year. It said that the central ceiling timber is from the sailing sloop HMS Albion. Cosy and warm this is a friendly "locals" pub where visitors soon find themselves at home.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A very old timber-framed building that has been a pub since at least 1845. Now a cosy one-roomed local, it appears little changed since the 1950s. The brick and timber built counter is certainly a period piece as are the two fireplaces. Note the glazed leaded spirit cupboards each end of the bar-back. The central ceiling beam is supposedly from the warship after which the pub is named.

General information about historic pub interiors

15th century, with changes in the 17th and early 20th centuries, timber framed building that has been a pub since at least 1845. Now a cosy one roomed back street locals pub. The pub is named after a warship and the central ceiling beam is supposedly from that sloop. The pub appears little changed since the 1950s and boasts the legend "Quality Flowers Ales" in gilt lettering on the wooden bar back. There is a glazed leaded spirit cupboard at each end of the bar back. The bar counter is of bricks laid diagonally in sections formed of black painted timber and at the corner on the right there is a linen-fold panel separating the two brick weave sides. This could date from inter-war times or just post-war. There are brick and timber fireplaces at both ends of the room which look either inter-war times or just post-war. The almost shallow vestibule at the entrance has some azed timber uprights that look to be from the 1950s.
