One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A 17th century timber framed thatched pub with two small bars which was last refurbished in the 1950s. In the small left hand bar are a 1950s-style counter and a bar-back that mixes 1950s and more recent work. The beams are replacements following a fire in 2004, hence why the insurance company prohibits use of the old fireplace. The tiled floor looks to be post-war. Through an opening (door removed), another small bar has an old quarry tiled floor and a 1950s counter with a recent wood top replacement of a copper one. Period doors lead to both the gents and cellar, the latter being notably low.

General information about historic pub interiors

A 17th century timber framed thatched pub with two small bars which was last refurbished in the 1950s. The small left hand bar has a counter of a style seen in the 1950s and the bar back looks a mixture of 1950s and more recent work. The old fireplace is no longer in use at the insistence of the insurance company because the building is thatched. There was a fire in first decade of the present century which destroyed the first floor so the beams are replacements. The tiled floor looks to be post-war. Through an opening (door removed) is another small bar with an old quarry tiled floor and a 1950s counter which has a wood top that replaced a copper one in recent years. A photo on the wall from 1935 shows there was a range in the disused fireplace and an old curved settle alongside that created a passage from the right (now disused) door - note the deeper red tiles where it was situated. There are 1950s doors to both the gents and cellar.
