K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design dating from the 20th century, made of cast iron and originally painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with applied crowns on the top panels, not perforated. Rectangular white display signs, reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof, are present. The interior contains modernised equipment. The kiosk is in relatively poor condition, having lost most of its red paint and now appearing a faded pink colour, although the display signs above the doors remain in good condition.

The kiosk stands at the eastern end of the village and has a strong visual relationship with the grounds of the Grade I listed St Swithin's Church. When viewed from the south or the churchyard, it also has a visual relationship with the Old School, a Grade II listed building located approximately 40 metres to its north-east.

The K6 telephone kiosk was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee. It was developed from his earlier K2 design of 1924 which was inspired by Neo-classical architecture. The K6 was more streamlined, compact and cost-effective to mass produce, with over 70,000 eventually made.

It is designated at Grade II for its strong visual relationship with neighbouring listed buildings and as a representative example of this important 20th century industrial design within a village setting.
