Built 1792 – this date is apparently carved into the brickwork. A old plan on the wall shows it was a Cobbold & Co pub with 4 small rooms and an off sales. Despite changes when the pub became a Tap & Spile the layout can be still seen with three rooms remaining and a number of old fittings.

On the right is the public bar (originally the taproom) with bare boarded floor at the front and modern tiled floor laid diagionally at the rear. The bar counter is old and matches the position shown in the plan, there is a large old brick and wood surround fireplace and old panelling on the walls. In the rear area there is more wall panelling, a blocked up 1930s brick fireplace and a wall bench down the right hand side which looks old.

In the middle of the pub in what was originally an off sales (look for the disused door with a figure ‘4’ on it) and a tiny snug there is a very small bare boarded bar with a counter that looks to be in the original position and perched on top of it is a set of three modern snob screens. There is no bar back fitting as such anywhere in the pub just some modern shelves.

What was originally the private bar and, in the single storey part on the far left, a parlour is now a single room with bare wood floor on the right and brick floor on the left. The counter here is clearly an addition but the tiled and wood surround fireplace on the rear left looks to be from the 1930s and some dado panelling may be old.
