One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
Built around 1816, the pub once consisted of the small public bar, an off-sales in the passage behind and a lounge at the rear which is now the beer cellar. The public bar retains its splendid decoratively carved and mirrored bar-back with a small return in the corner; it has been painted mauve. The upper shelves are held up by slender columns with decorative capitals, below which about two-thirds of the old bar shelves survive (the remainder removed for a fridge). The bar counter (painted bright purple) is from late Victorian times and has decorative brackets. All round the walls is old dado panelling with benches round the windows. In the passage behind the servery you can still see the former off-sales hatch with two small leaded windows. There is also a cellar bar with several vaulted rooms, but no old fittings. Upstairs, a small pool room has been brought into use and another room converted into a kitchen.
