The Newmarket Pubs website tells us that this pub dated back at least as far as 1439 when it was mentioned in a will. It was a favourite place for James I to stay at when he visited the town; in 1613 the rear section of the building collapsed with the king and his court inside.
Our map shows where Newmarket Pubs think the pub was located.
