Closed a good few years ago. Much of the site has been redeveloped into housing - this was partly to pay for renovation work to reopen the pub.
Renovation work started about 2013 and had finished by December 2016, when it was advertised to let.
With no takers to reopen the pub, it has now been turned into a vet's practice.
Built early 17th century, with 18th and 19th century extensions.
