Description

History
The building was constructed around 1450 as Stoke Heath Manor House and received its pub license in 1810. Major restoration work took place in 1936.

The interior features a Jacobean plaster ceiling and a carved overmantel from the 16th century, both showing the skill of craftspeople from that era. These decorations reflect the tastes and abilities of the people who once lived here.
Practical
