This Grade 2 listed house - it combines three buildings in one: the southern end dates from 1475; the old cottage end near the river is from 1550, and the middle part which houses the main bar is from 1590 - was originally the home of a Flemish weaver. It is said to have later been used for storing Bishop Joseph Hall's wine (he lived just down the road > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5842294 ). In the early 1700s it became an ale house. The first recorded licensee was John Cotton, a worsted weaver, from 1760 to 1764. August 2019: The pub briefly closed last autumn, but has been reopened as the Britannia Gardens, run by Britannia Enterprises.
