The pub has an interesting history, it was built in 1554 and is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of a cavalier, William Dutton, who was part of the Royalist forces. He took a fancy to a serving wench, who unfortunately held a previous assignation with a local farmer , who wasn't too pleased, so he did away with him with a farming implement. So don't be surprised if you feel a sudden chill, or catch something moving out of the corner of your eye!
