This inn has featured on TV's Lovejoy. The landscaped garden to the rear included a children's play area.
Built late 18th or early 19th century.
Planning permission to convert this from a guest house to residential use was lodged in October 2008, so it probably closed about then. It had apparently been open when photographed on August 11th of that year.
