Conversion

This is a magnificent place, Grade I-listed, that has been an inn since early C18. The ambience comes from its time as a grand house for the gentry and it is said that King Richard III stayed here. Original features include three large fireplaces and extensive wood panelling . There are two bars with counters that are probably inter-war. The pub was refurbished recently. Meals and real ale are served. Note it is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
