16th century building formerly farmworker's cottage - reputably an inn since c1700. Originally the front door led to the off sales with bars to the left and right also served from hatches. In the late 1930s it was refurbished and the present panelled bar counter installed - note the bar top is inlaid with industrial lino from the 1930s. Modest bar back fitting with modern MDF shelving with a till drawer and above it a wooden tray for coins. The brick fireplaces to the left and right possibly date from the 1930s but the settle on the left has only been here since the 1980s having come from a cottage. Some old dado panelling, window seating and fitted seating. To the right is a small bar that was a meeting room until the mid 1980s. A cut through the wall of double door width made. Licensees got a local craftsman to add the quarter circle bar in the style of the main counter. The fixed seating is possibly more 1930s than 1980s.
