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.

Norfolk Chronicle
1 February 1794                      SCOLE INN

Kitchen, bar room, pantries, larder, 5 parlours on the groundfloor, a spacious diningroom and twelve good rooms upon the second floor and attics, with four good cellars and wine vaults.  Also stabling with haylofts for 40 horses, three chaise houses, 3 granaries and other convenient outbuildings, with a large extensive yard.  Also a garden containing half an acre, two parts walled round, well planted with fruit and herbs and two paddocks or enclosures of rich land adjoining.
`
The situation of this inn renders it most eligible and certain for the road business being nearly an equal distance from Norwich, Ipswich, Bury, Beccles and Thetford and the mail and stage coaches pass and repass daily to and from London to Norwich, through Ipswich and Bury.  Mr Thomas Barker proprietor (retiring).
