Asset of Community Value

Early 17th century half timbered building - datestone of 1632 in cellar and 1589 on fireplace - with 18th, 19th and 20th century alterations and additions. An extensive restoration in 1988/89 by Lees Brewery cost £500,000. There is now 8 rooms but in terms of old fittings there is one fielded panelled bar counter and dado panelling that could date from the 1930s. On the right the Sessions Room, which was used as a court at one time, is genuinely old and well worth a visit. It is like a Medieval banqueting room with a high ceiling, genuine old panelled walls and an enormous old stone fireplace. Not suitable for inclusion as there are very few old pub / bar fittings. (MS 2012)
