The cream house is the former Wagon & Horses public house on the east side of the High Street. The small brick building in front, at an angle to the road, is thought to be the parish pound or lock-up. The former Wagon & Horses is a Grade II Listed Building, with the lock-up included for group value. The Historic England website describes the group thus:- "C18, brick, front elevation rendered and painted. Old tiled hipped roof. Two storeys three C19 sash windows to ground floor, modern door on right of centre. Three 3-light casements to first floor. Stack with offsets on right flank wall. Small rectangular one storey brick outbuilding on right, old tiled hipped roof, corbelled eaves, door on south wall. Said to be parish pound or lockup, restored by Parish Council in 1896."
