The Sun Inn

It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.^[3]

The 200+ year old establishment,^[4] one of the UK's last remaining parlour pubs,^[2][4] had been owned and operated by resident^[5] Flossie Lane, who was born in the Sun Inn in 1914,^[6] and took over ownership more than 70 years ago, until her death in June 2009^[2] aged 94.^[4]

Without anyone to take her place, there had been fears that it would be sold for redevelopment,^[2] but with the help of CAMRA, and the Save the Sun Inn campaign,^[4][7] the pub was purchased from Flossie's nieces, who were keen for it to remain a pub,^[4] by a neighbour and friend of Flossie's and a local brewery owner.^[2]

The new owners added a rear pavilion-style extension which has become the main bar venue. The original two front rooms remain, a red-brick public bar and the more comfortable parlour.
