Historical interest
The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
The pub was built as a beer house in 1839. The main bar was extended in about 1880 but plans to extend the building further just after WW1 were not completed.
Licensing records show it back as far as 1874 (the oldest available).
The Star got its full license on March 2nd 1959, the license being transferred from the St Michael South Elmham Jolly Farmer.
