Formerley the Cholmondeley County Primary School.
Conversion
Built in 1862 as an elementary school for 200 children, the school closed in 1986 and was converted to a pub, becoming the first public house on the Cholmondeley Estate for over a century. The conversion is an interesting and pleasing development of an unusual building, by not altering the cruciform layout. Wooden braces hold up the high-ceilinged interior which has three drinking areas with bare floorboards split by wide brick arches; there is also a tiny snug. Most walls are of exposed brick and there are log fires to enhance the quirky design. The bar back has a bottom section formed from a piece of furniture with sets of drawers and on top is what looks like a Victorian mirrored bar back that nearly reaches the high ceiling. There is a heavily carved bar counter. The pub serves real ales and real ciders, provides meals and has accommodation in the Headmaster's House opposite.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 0 regular beers.
