Listed grade II (list entry 1133108) where it is described as originally an early 19th century house. Watson devotes a whole page of his book to its history: briefly it was built as a house for William Hillas, becoming an inn by 1822, the freehold perhaps surprisingly being held by a Quaker Trust, who sold it into private hands in 1914.
