You wouldn't know it by the inter-war frontage but this was an ancient coaching inn, as revealed by the stone floored passageway entry and serious beamwork inside. There are a pair of tables rooms at the front, but jinking round a corner you find the bar counter and even more woodwork. A back room is marginally more modern and the whole place is sparsely decorated, relying mainly on the black woodwork and white walls. The former stables and outbuildings at the back are no longer part of the pub but there are tables in the yard area behind. An old set of 3 handpumps just offered TT Landlord, not in the greatest of condition. You can't help feeling they could make more of this place, but it seems to be clinging on at the moment.

Now open as the Mowbray Arms, so was perhaps closed for repairs and refurb previously.

Not sure if this is currently closed or if they have just changed their hours. Went past last Thursday afternoon, Facebook and WhatPub pages say it's open from midday but the door was well and truly shut when I went past in the afternoon. There is a notice outside about an application for timber repairs to a listed building, which may be relevant. Just to warn anyone who may have been planning a special visit.
