The Queen's Head has been historically listed as being in Chedburgh, but is actually just inside the boundary of Chevington. It's shown as the Queen Inn on the 1836 OS map. One source suggests that it closed in about 1900 but it was still listed in directories long after this date so this may be inaccurate.
A Victorian brewery was located on the premises.
