This oak-beamed 18th century building was once razed to the ground but in the late 1700s the property was half built back as a forge and then changed to a pub, the Black Horse Inn, at some point prior to 1819. In the early 1980s the name was changed to the Sportsman. It was closed for some time but reopened after a considerable rebuild in Nov 2018. Note that the bar also opens on bank holiday Mondays.
