Historic Interest

A Grade II listed building. Partly 17th and 19th century. The Blue Boar existed in 1822, was closed in 1911 and reopened in or before 1931. A Sarah Pearce was the landlady in 1842 and a Stephen Everett in 1867. The pub is linked to the 101st Airborne Easy Company (Band of Brothers), who were based in Aldbourne in the run up to D-Day. It was then frequented by officers; enlisted men had to use the Bell Inn - no longer a pub. It shot to fame in the 1970s when it figured in The Daemons - part of the Dr Who series - as the Cloven Hoof.
