The pub dates back to ~752 (at least). The beam running across the middle of the bar marks the old back wail of the pub. For many of the years prior to the extension, the pub had its own brewery' in its rear yard.In 1923 the pub was extended to the format it now has, and the oak paneling and wooden floors were put in. It was, therefore, a theme pub of its time, harking back to the Victorian glory' days of the public house. Fortunately, the craftsmen involved took enormous care with their work as can be seen by even a cursory' examination of the joining and finishing.
The pub has hardly been altered since that time (minor additions being the bookcase and cushions). It boasts three oak paneled rooms, each with access to the bar, with a maximum capacity (estimated) of 100. Brass numbers on the doors date back to the 1920's when the equivalent of Customs and Excise required each separate drinking area or drink storage space to be numbered. This was to ensure that each area on each inspection was checked.
