Very typically a coaching inn, one of a number in the village which was an important stop on the road to the north, although not on the traditional Great North Road itself. The oldest part is the lower two storey wing, dating from the early 18th century. The main block dates from around 1770, in Georgian style, and the single storey extension to this side is 20th century. Listed Grade II. It still offers overnight accommodation.
