An old public house on the fringe of the town centre. It is a Grade II listed building and was originally a private house but later became a public house. It dates from the early 18th century, but the mock timber-framing is mid-20th century. Trade directories show that it was in use as a public house by 1840, but this could have happened much earlier. There is a beer garden.
