This public house is an important building in terms of its location. It forms an island junction with comprises High Street and Back Lane and terminates the vista along High Street. The overall spatial qualities of the structure are quite good. The date of the building is uncertain but it is shown on the map in the 1787 edition of Ferrar's History. It is of additional significance in the rentention of the cast-iron cresting which adds an artistic detail to an otherwise altered façade.
