History

The pub has existed since the 15th century. [1] The original timber frame is still standing but has been concealed by later brickwork. [2] The original building included a medieval hall house, which was split into two floors in the 16th century. [1] [3] A bay window facing the road was added later. The pub was extensively redeveloped around 1954. [1] The beer garden can accommodate up to 200 people. [4]

Horse shows were a popular event at the pub during the 1850s. [1] The wit and poet Charles Stuart Calverley is reported to have stolen the pub's sign whilst an undergraduate student at Cambridge. [5] The musician and bandleader Charles Shadwell was landlord of the pub during the 1960s. [6]

The pub has been Grade II listed since 1962. [2]
