'...This is a public house, now closed. The current building probably has late-C18 or early-C19 origins, with C20 alterations.'

'...later alterations have diminished the interest of this public house in a national context, including substantial loss of interior plan-form and historic features, and the addition of external rendering with applied timber (the current external appearance dating from after a photograph of 1926 which shows a simulation of simple box-framing without bracing or cusping).'
