Historic Interest
The original building was probably just a small cottage, the facade of which includes the entrance door. Built in the mid-16th century, but it was certainly an alehouse by 1598 when it was extended at both ends. In the early 17th century it was first known as The Mount Eagle and later The Harrow, but more than 100 years later it was renamed The Barley Mow when a brewhouse and a building for storing and malting barley - the present-day Malting House - were added. At that time it was also part of a small farm. At the end of the 19th century when cycling became a new, popular pastime, The Barley Mow found itself a favoured destination and, to cater for this trade, another extension, now housing the restaurant and kitchen, was added.
