old OS map

Parts of the pub date from the 15th century with a carriage arch providing a reminder of earlier (coaching) times. Further extensions & renovations were carried out in 1826 & the present brick front (Woolpit red bricks) was added about then. Occasionally open on Sunday eve for quiz nights.

The Swan never reopened after the Covid-19 lockdown and was confirmed to have closed permanently in mid-2022.

Owner/operator: Pubmaster
Parts of the pub date from the C16th; the carriage arch providing a reminder of the days when horse drawn traffic reigned. B&B is available in the old stable block. Spit roasts in the massive old fireplace in winter.
