Continuing on to the left from Image this pub was once a house, bucking the present day trend. It is thought that the name might derive from meetings of The Worshipful Company of Carpenters held here around 1800. Certainly up to 1921 the Ordnance Survey were showing the pub as The Axe and Compass, singular. This is yet again, like so many in Braughing, a Grade II Listed Building.
