This fine old pub was opened in 1897, but was originally half the size and named the Engineer's Arms. It was expanded to its current size in 1932 by long-serving landlord George Wagstaff, and he renamed it as The House That Jack Built in 1953. However it is now called The Brunel, presumably with a new landlord too. A benchmark can be found on the right-hand side of shot (see Image]) but the Ordnance Survey recorded it as the Jack version as it was verified in 1956.
