The Boot
Looking down on the Boot from the Clock Tower.
The building dates originally from around 1500 (although the pub's own website claims a date of 1420). It originally consisted of two timber framed buildings, one containing two shops fronting Market Place, the other set lengthways behind the pair (seen in the background to the photo). Various modifications and extensions took place over the years - for example the cross-element of the roof was added in the 18th century, to house three attic rooms.
It is first recorded as a licensed establishment in 1719, occupying the section under the left hand gable - the extension to include the second section did not take place until the 1960s.
The name is presumed to originate from this section of the market being for leather traders - in fact leather offcuts discovered under floorboards suggest that part of the building may have contained workshops for that trade.
