This was once a very important coaching stop on the London - Portsmouth road. The Hampshire/W. Sussex boundary runs through the middle of the pub. The parish of Liss has a tradition of "beating the bounds" and they used to put a boy into the oven at the Flying bull to beat the bounds as the parish boundary is reputed to run through the kitchen.
