One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A multi-room village pub. The building itself may date back to the sixteenth century and was refronted in the eighteenth. There are lots of interwar, probably 1930s, fittings, for example the fielded wall panelling, counter and brick fireplace in the right-hand bar. There is a narrow island servery fitting which is also probably interwar. The left-hand bar has more interwar work including the counter which has an inbuilt shelf (hard to imagine its usage other than for glasses for stand-up drinkers. There has been opening up to the left where there is a brick fireplace set at an angle and more (seemingly quite modern). This area has moulded beams (sixteenth-century?) to the ceiling room. A further room on the left, the ‘Gun Room’, has been brought into use and has an interwar brick fireplace. New restaurant at the rear left.
