The Swan was built early in the 15th century, though subsequently altered. Although a date of 1915 has been quoted for the closure of the Swan, the Hoxne licensing records show it still open at least as late as 1968.

A planning request lodged in March 2000 refers to this as "The Swan", while another lodged in July 2004 refers to it as "The Old Swan", so it seems likely it closed between those dates.
