Grade II listed (list entry 1133096). Watson gives us the facts that it dates from some time before 1822, at which time it was owned by the Stansfields of Esholt Hall, one of whose number also acted as landlord in the mid 19th century. He adds that in his own time (late 19th/early 20th century?) it was kept by Lewis Cannon, his wife and their "bevy of beautiful daughters".
