Grade II Listed building part of a terrace from 41 to 44. Earliest reference to 42 is 1760 but 41-42 were 'newly built' in 1747. No.43 was therefore probably built in the 1740s but with later extensive alterations. At one stage it had false exterior timbering that was removed in the 1980s. In the early 20th century it was known as The Upper Pheasant, this was because the Westwood Hotel was also known as the Pheasant. 43 High Street was a private house in 1854, probably also in 1859 but by 1868 it had become a pub. A search of my directories produced; 1868 Pheasant, Pryce Powell; 1881-1895 Pheasant, Thomas Parry; 1901 Pheasant but no landlord given; 1903 not listed; 1912 & 1918 Upper Pheasant but no landlord given.
