The building can be traced back to 1681 when it was known as the "Duke's Head" but changed name between 1703 and 1861 to the "British Tar" and finally by 1891 to the name we know today.

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

 

During the Covid 19 crisis of 2020, this pub was able to offer a take away service in June, possibly earlier.
