At the time, most of the owners of the inn were blacksmiths who shod horses in the blacksmiths shop attached to the inn and talked corn and wheat prices round the bar with local farmers and visitors to the Duke of Buckingham estate. Amongst the many famous visitors were King Charles II and Samuel Pepys. During his reign, the king hunted regularly with Villiers Duke of Buckingham and the house was used as his hunting lodge.
