Public House in Heckington.

On High Street.

Grade II Listed public house of 1684 altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. To the gable a recessed square datestone is inscribed PTE Henry Ireland AD 1684. It is reputed that highwayman Dick Turpin slept here and was active in the parish. When hanged for stealing horses from a Tom Creasy of Heckington he said at his trial that he frequented an inn called the Nag's Head one mile from the centre of the village. The building may have used stone in its building from Cobham Hall. Directory entries include; 1835-1841 George Salmon; 1856-1861 Mrs Mary Salmon; 1872 Henry Penn (& bricklayer); 1885-1896 Felix Gray (& farmer); 1868 Mrs Ann Bones; 1901 W Brackenbury; 1905 Mrs Mary Ann Brackenbury (& butcher); 1909-1919 Alfred Bannister.
