Original house said to have been built in 1668 from ships timbers - The pension of the captain. (Peter Scotchbrook ?)

5th February 1820 - Debtors and Creditors of the late Jeremiah Clayton, Ale-house keeper, were requested to immediately settle their business.

Licence renewal deferred Tuesday 9th February 1909, to be considered on 23rd February.

On Tuesday 23rd February 1909 it was claimed that the house was difficult for the police to supervise since Mr. Flegg, grocer, had a right of way through the yard and his garden door opened opposite a back door of the public house. The labouring class used the house, the stables were seldom used for putting up horses. Trade dropped during the service of Mr. Capp, but according to the representative from Lacons Brewery, it was probably because he was very strict.
Trade was now about 157 barrels of beer, 150 gallons of cider, 61 gallons of spirits and 673 dozen bottles of beer.
The present building had been there since 1828 and difficulty in supervision had never been raised before.

A major refurbishment was reported 24th December 1975. Over a 14 week period a new lounge bar, complete with dining area, new toilet facilities and the re-opening of the original cellar, had been completed.
