Grade II Listed former Rose and Crown alehouse. Probably a 15th century building. A postcard of around 1900-1905 shows a line drawing of the alehouse in 1745 and claims it to be frequented by Dick Turpin, a claim made by the Eight Bells two doors down. By 1756 it was apparently called the 'Mitre' although from around this time it was owned by farmer John Jackson and occupied by William Neale, a tailor. In the 1820s glover and tailor William Hankin was in business here who moved out around 1840 to No.38.
