old OS map

This building was very old (built late in the 14th century) when it became an inn. An earlier pub of the same name was located in the market place and traded from the mid 16th century to the early 17th century.

The building was partly demolished in the 1960s when three northern bays were removed, leaving just the single southern bay.

It appears at the location shown, on the 1885 OS map.

It was owned by John Miller - brewer and maltster of Walsham le Willows from 1839-76. Then from 1876 to 1882 Alexander Clutterbuck owned the pub. He then sold it to Edward Greene & Co (which later became Greene King).
