The best part of this early 17th-century village inn is the small beamed front bar with its uneven pamment and brick floor. It has an ancient high-backed settle, very old fixed seating and a large brick inglenook fireplace with side oven. The bar counter, from old wooden vessels, has also been there some time. To the left, a small bar has an old fireplace but somewhat newer counter and seating. The small dining room far left has come into pub use more recently. A tiled passage leads to the bare-boarded rear bar with splendid old brick fireplace and whose panelled counter looks inter-war. About 30 years ago the pub was greatly extended to create dining spaces but none of this work impinged adversely on the historic core.
Early 17th-century village inn with later extensions. The star at this village inn is the small beamed front bar on the right with its uneven pamment and brick floor. It retains an ancient high backed settle, ancient fitted seating and a large old brick inglenook fireplace with a side oven. The bar counter appears to be formed from old wooden vessels and has been here for some time – bar counters were only introduced into public houses in the mid 19th century. To the left is the small bar with an old fireplace; the fixed seating and bar counter being slightly more modern than those in the main bar.
To the far left is a small dining room that has been brought into use. A tiled passage leads to the larger bare boarded rear bar with a splendid old brick fireplace, The panelled bar counter appears to have been fitted in the inter war years. Note the unusual barrel shaped seating, which have been here since post war times. About 30 years ago the pub was considerably extended to the rear to create a number of dining rooms. This is an excellent example of how to expand a village pub – retain the small rooms with old fittings and build new facilities without compromising the original pub.
