Formerly the Effingham Arms the Hedgehog is now a restaurant pub and has acquired the adjacent house (in the left of shot) to provide guest rooms. In a sense it's assumed the function of the old-fashioned inn. The exterior has hardly changed since the 1950s http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/west+sussex/copthorne/photos/copthorne_C422005.htm. It's the occasional meeting place for local members of the Guinea Pig Club http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_Pig_Club who will have witnessed the changes over the years.
