The old village pub has undergone many name changes and refurbishment, but its name still reflects the local history of 19th century horse racing on the North Downs above Merrow. The pub has previously been called "The Hare and Hounds" and "The Running Horse Inn". In the background, the spire of St John's is just visible.
