The oldest pub in Peterborough with parts dating to 1598. It started life as a farmhouse and became a pub in 1810. Bar, lounge and open wood panelled snug off the lounge. The snug and bar are the oldest parts with the lounge being a later addition. The wood panelling in the snug pre-dates the pub and was originally in the foyer.
Originally a farmhouse, with a datestone of 1669 it became a pub in 1808. In 1923 it was extended to the left in the style of the original part - can you spot the join? The lounge on the left has a stone fireplace from 1923 and some old panelling remains. However the bar fittings date from 1980s?? and dado panelling ?? A wood-panelled corridor leads to a snug where the panelling is very fine indeed; there is also a huge inglenook with a massive beam, sadly despoiled by insertion of a modern fireplace. The panelling has the inscription "ER 35' which dates it as 1594 so must have been brought from elsewhere. The public bar on the right was extended back in the 1960s and retains a tiled fireplace of that date, but the bar fittings are modern. If the bar fittings are all modern this is very marginal.
