The Inn was built circa 1900 replacing an older one of the same name that had been erected sometime in the late 18th/early 19th century to serve a London-Brighton turnpike that passed along the course of the current A273. It also has a literary connection appearing in Conan Doyle's story 'Rodney Stone'. [Many thanks to William Lovell for providing corrected and extra information]
