Formerly the SILVER FLEECE.
It is reputed that during the Civil War, Mucky Porter guided King Charles I
 through the fens and was rewarded with a bag of gold. 
Later King Charles II is said to have further rewarded him with several acres of land
which became known as the Methwold Severals.

The BELL in 1836

Penny In The Hole once played here but out of fashion by 1950's.
Local rules were that 6 players would each have 2 pennies.
The first to score 2 in the hole would win the shilling.
