Description

The Ring O' Bells Public House is a public house built in 1741 for Thomas Barker, who was the church sexton. It is situated at right angles to the road and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of coursed rubble, with the north side rendered and the south side featuring incised stucco. It has graduated slate roofs and stone chimneys at the mid and end points.

The structure has seven bays in total, with the two western bays rising to three storeys, possibly due to the addition of a second floor, while the rest of the building is two storeys high. The south elevation features two panelled doors with canopies on the left and three segment-headed doors on the right, which were originally for stables. The windows are a mix of insertions and replacements, but the four sash windows on each floor of the north elevation are likely original, retaining wide glazing bars. The two segment-headed sashes on the first floor to the left may also be original, while the rest are later additions.

It is said that the building was constructed on consecrated ground and was popular among church wardens and bell-ringers in the 18th century. The interior retains Victorian details and arrangement, featuring a front bar, a side room, and a larger back room, all served from a central area. The public house is included in the listing mainly due to its position within the churchyard group.
