opened 16th century
The pub can be seen on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
This characterful 16th century pub still offers traditional games and first class food. Aa microbrewery operates on site, using barley grown on the farm. Closed Mon-Wed but can be open for a special event or meetings - just ask!
A notice on the pub's website, which we noticed in February 2020, states that the pub has closed. This has since been confirmed by a site visit.
