One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Formerly a farm building, most of what you now see dates from the 1950s when the extension on the right was added and the front bar extended into a former living room. This bar retains fittings from the time of the alterations, notably the counter and bar-back; some of the panelling and the inglenook fireplace are much older. There's an even better inglenook fireplace, with a copper hood, in the back lounge. The small counter is also from the 1950s though the bar-back combines old and new. The presence of another fireplace at the back indicates that this space was once two rooms.

General information about historic pub interiors

A 17th century timber framed pub that was formerly a farm building. Photo on the wall indicates the front far left was the licensees private living room. There were changes in the 1950s when a small extension was added on the right for the toilets and lounge entrance.

The present front bar with its red quarry tiled floor appears to have been barely altered since the 1950s when it was doubled in size by combining it with the former private living room - note the old lower panelled ceiling in the right half. The bar counter looks like a 1950s one and the bar back mostly 1950s with some modern additions. Old full height panelling on the right and modern dado panelling on the left has been painted beige and there is an old inglenook fireplace with a modern log burner.

The rear lounge/dining room is small with a bare wood floor and very old inglenook fireplace with a copper hood. The small bar counter looks like a 1950s one and the bar back is a mixture of old and new. Recently modern dado has replaced older fielded panelling on the wall; a small cast fireplace in the corner indicates this was two rooms prior to the 1950s.
