Dates from 1655 - Built by John Peck.
King Charles II had breakfast here 27th September 1671,
stopping on route to Yarmouth.
It seems he was treated by the Rt Hon Lord Cornwallis.
Shown on Bryants 1826 map.
Once had a sign created by John Fairchild that straddled the road.
It cost £1057 in 1655. Apart from a White Hart it included carved figures of Diana,
Actaeon with angels, Neptune, Justice, Lions and several other figures, one of which acted
as a weather vane. The sign was removed c1750, being considered dangerous.
One reference ( H. G. Anderson, 1933 ) gives the destruction of the sign as c1803, at the
same time as a large bed from within the inn - said to have been capable of accommodating
30 to 40 persons.
Morgans sales for 1960 were :-
Barrels of beer 170
Spirits 272
Known today as the SCOLE INN.
Grade 1 listed building.
Today offering full hotel facilities.
