The Blue Ball (whose name commemorates a balloon flight) is a small village local rebuilt in 1893. The two-bar layout is intact although the internal door has been removed. The quarter circle bar counter and bar back appear to be of pre-war date as does the panelling with bench seating in the tiny bar on the right, which is on a slightly higher level. In the bar on the left is the rare pub game of Ringing The Bull - see if you can swing the metal ring and get it to land on the hook on the wall.
