The Bull
There have been a few changes since this was last photographed: the sign has changed, and the old wheel has gone.
There are many local placenames with "Bull" in the title: "Great Bull Wood" and "Bullwood Hall" as well as "Bullwood Road". Given the pub dates from the c16 it seems likely that the wood got its name from the pub.
It is a listed building, List entry Number: 1147795 http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147795
It is it is said (on some of the publicity) that Dick Turpin was hung from one of the beams of the pub.
