Number 7 High Street, built in 1673, is the former Maltsters public house. The roof was raised in brick in the early 20th century to provide attic accommodation. The building became a restaurant before it closed in 1994 and is now a private dwelling. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1023176 Originally built round the parish church, manor and Tithe barn, the village moved and is now mostly spread out along the Bristol and Oxford coach road.
