The building dates from 1936, when it was built to provide accommodation for travellers. Originally it was named the Day Inn. At that time, art deco designs were very popular, and this building shows some art deco features. In later years the use changed to a conventional pub with food, and at some point the name changed to the Squire Bassett. The Bassetts were a well-known local family. The pub was for a while known as the Dogwood, but has reverted to its present name. Image Image
