The Polstead History Recorder tells us that the Sallow Tree is known to have stood near Till's Farm. It's reported in a Poor Rate note on 1748 as the Saule Tree with Ed Ward as landlord.
Old maps show a "Salve Tree Farm" close to here. This seems likely to be connected. All of the buildings from this farm have been demolished, so it seems probable that the pub has been as well.
