Background
Description
The inn was constructed in 1451. One original feature is the hearth of the fireplace which conceals a priest's hole. The pub had its own brewery at the rear which was used until 1930 and is still preserved as a display. It was renovated in 1985, expanding the bar area to incorporate an open courtyard and a room which was previously used as a toyshop. The building has been Grade II listed since June 1974.
