This is the entrance to what is now Trug, a florists, and an office. Before that it was a Nat West branch. However, the building dates back to the late nineteenth century and was originally the Village Assembly Rooms (the name survives in the top of the entrance stonework). It also served up to the 1930s as a cinema, whereafter it changed hands. The local masons took it over as a lodge (their mark appears on the glazing above the door) and it held meetings for three groups (Alfred & Guthrum Lodge, Sir Thomas de Cheddre Lodge and St Cecilia Lodge).
