The pub was originally a farm house called Hornbeam Hall but became an inn, called the Chequers, in 1756. In 1968, it was renamed and is now a Mitchells & Butlers' Vintage Inn. Whilst modernised, the pub generally has a lot of physical character including non conventionally shaped rooms, open fires in winter and a chimney which is truly crooked!
