The ironstone Three Horseshoes has been extended over the years, although the original pub is said to date from 1757. The name is taken from the forge that was originally on the site and where Benjamin Franklin's Uncle Thomas was the last of the family to work the family forge. This now houses a brewery under the Benjamin Franklin name. The traditional multi-room layout has been retained, with two separate bars and games area with Northants skittles and darts. Outside the garden is decked and is south facing. Early doors happy hour on Wednesday to Friday 5.30-7.30pm sees cask beer at £3.20 a pint. For its size, it often has some good bands featured.

Asset of Community Value

A three roomed village pub built 1757 of stone with brick extensions to the left in 1831 and rear wing dated 1835. Possibly the least altered former Watney owned pub in Northamptonshire. The main left hand bar was formerly two small rooms and a central passageway, so two walls removed here. The far left side has a window seat and casement windows. The panel-fronted bar counter, plain shelves to rear of bar and panelling on one wall are unchanged in 70 years. Up three steps to the right is a tiny snug with another wall of 1930s panelling and a bar counter similar to that in the bar. Note the unusual shelving to store bottles on their sides and the custom darts storage. On the right is the games room which is completely 1930s panelled throughout, with a cheese skittle table and is served via a hatch. There are three fireplaces which may be up to 70 years old, two of which are blocked-up.

Update 2013 - recently bought by local people who have replaced the old bar fittings with modern ones so this pub no longer meets the criteria.
