K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design constructed of cast iron, painted red with horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The applied crowns are situated on the top panels. Rectangular white display signs read "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow curved roof. The interior has been updated with modern equipment. The kiosk occupies a prominent position near the village crossroads, in the northern corner of a spacious village green and cricket ground. It has a strong visual connection to St Paul's Church, the War Memorial, and the Two Brewers Inn, all of which are listed buildings.

Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee, the K6 was a development from his earlier K2 telephone kiosk design of 1924, and represented a more streamlined, compact, and cost-effective solution. As a milestone of 20th century industrial design, over 70,000 K6 kiosks were produced; many were replaced later, but they remain an iconic feature of the British landscape. The K6 telephone kiosk is designated at Grade II for its strong visual relationship with three listed buildings, its well-preserved condition, and its prominent position in the village landscape.
