Conversion

This shop was converted to a pub and its unusual name stems from the legend that the old well nearby belonged to Old Widow Cullen and that she allowed her neighbours to use it. The Grade II-listed timber-framed building dates from the C14 and has a wealth of beams and timbers including a curved brace over the front bar. There is a second bar beyond the central brick stack fireplace that dates from C17.
