It may also be reported historically as being in the High Street or "near Plough Lane" (probably now called Mill Lane).
Reopened October 2013 after two years of closure.
Paul Bangs tells us that a Thomas Bangs, his great-great-grandfather (and son of a landlord of the Harp) was the landlord of The Plough when he died young in 1835. An Enclosure document from 1833 shows that he was the landlord then (documents are in the Suffolk Record Office)…
