This is a mid- to late-eighteenth-century house, later converted into a pub. Until relatively recent times there were two pub rooms, one on the corner (with dolphins in the etched door glass) and one to its right. These are now linked. The former has a fine old flagstone floor and a big inglenook fireplace, the latter (the Toby Room) heavy wooden floorboards and old fielded wall-panelling . There seems to have been work in the interwar period, hence the lapped bar counters and brick fireplace in the Toby Room. Much expansion has taken place with rooms brought into use off both the aforementioned rooms and a new extension at the rear right.
