The hotel is built on an original burgage plot which records allow to be traced as far back as 1361 when it was granted to Henry Torfote, an up and coming local man at the time. The present building dates from the early 19th century although the cellars are believed to be much older. From 1822 – 1845, the hotel was known as “White Hart”.
