Dating from the around the end of the 18th century the inn was originally built on the edge of the village green which was used for fairs and as a meeting point, also known early on as the Fighting Cock highlighting one of the activities that went on there. Towards the end of the 20th century it became The Pear Tree but has now reverted back to its original name. The road is North Common Road that links Wivelsfield Green to the commons around North Chailey.
