One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Country pub with opened-out three room layout and 1950s counters in the central and right-hand rooms. The right-hand room has an inglenook fireplace and bench seating, and there is a 1930s fireplace and old bar back shelving in the middle room.
This pub retains a now opened-out three-room layout, the last major changes having been made back in the 1950s. In the middle is the main bar with a bare wood floor, a (possibly) 1950s counter with matchboarded front. There is a small 1930s brick fireplace and wall benches on three sides near the window. A gap formed by partial wall removal accesses the room on the right which is down a step and has a large inglenook fireplace. Behind the TV is an old wheel in which a dog would turn the spit in the inglenook, by way of a connecting pulley! The counter here is of a style seen in the 1950s and the bench seating is similar. Note the wheel with ten segments mounted on the ceiling for playing ‘twister’, a game of chance, far removed from its more popular location in East Anglia. There is a large gap to the left-hand room which has a 1930s-style brick fireplace and is now the restaurant area with modern tables and chairs installed in 2018. This room has a collection of memorabilia about the Polish airmen stationed at the nearby airfield during World War II.
