K6 telephone kiosk

This is a K6 telephone kiosk, a standardised design dating from the 1930s. It is constructed of cast iron and is square in plan. The kiosk is painted red overall, featuring long, horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with applied crowns on the top panels rather than perforated ones. Rectangular white display signs are present, reading “TELEPHONE” beneath the shallow curved roof. While most of the original large panes of glass have been replaced with polycarbonate, seventeen out of the original forty-eight margin lights remain. The interior contains modernised telephone equipment. The kiosk is situated in the centre of the village, close to the Grade I listed medieval Church of St Mary (restored by Pugin in the 1840s), the Grade II listed lychgate also designed by Pugin, and the Grade II listed 18th-century house at 52 Far Street.
