Grade II listed and built in 1898 by Thorpe and Furniss in French Chateau style, with a five-light corner turret under a conical roof. The listing calls the interior of high standard: an elaborately moulded Jacobean-style plaster ceiling, original mahogany fittings, French embossed and brilliant-cut mirrors, and a lantern with raised clerestory over the rear bar. Pink and black polished granite pilasters at ground level; the entrance lobbies keep their mosaic floors and a wrought-iron screen bearing the AH monogram. Still an ordinary Greene King pub, which is much of the pleasure.

Daytime, for the lantern and clerestory over the rear bar.
The front bar has been altered; the rear room under the skylight keeps the listed detail. A Greene King house — ordinary operation, extraordinary room.
