Asset of Community Value

Late 15th or early 16th century Church House. The original three public rooms are the present public bar on the right, the small room in the middle and the lounge on the left and have been like this for 30 years. The bar counter originally went across both right and middle rooms so the existing counter and reception hatch are modern, but the bar back looks old. At the upper end on the right is a very old impressive stud-and-panel screen which incorporates a bench and an old stone fireplace. There are no bar fittings in the middle area, which is where the gents were originally behind - now a small dining room. A door leads into the homely lounge with a splendid old stone inglenook fireplace with large oven, beam and plank ceiling, and settees and armchairs. Bar on the right has a lapped wood counter of no great age. There are eight small public rooms altogether. Possibly a try also for the screen?
