It would be easy to assume that the spelling of this pub is a ridiculous affectation dreamt up by someone in a marketing department after a boozy lunchtime. In fact the 'Swanne Inne' was first recorded in 1586 although by 1650 the modern spelling was being used. It has not been in continuous use as a pub since then and in more recent times it followed the fashion of giving pubs short-lived forgettable names but the old name was readopted by Wetherspoons when the company took it over.
