A group of friendly spirits frequent this timber framed 16th century establishment that is made up of an eclectic mix of nine different buildings. Speculation has it that this was a secret meeting place for papists planning thier escape to France, which might explain why furniture, and in particular chairs, are often found re-arranged in a circle overnight. A previous landlord of the inn is on record saying that in a room closed to the public furniture would whirl around in the air before crashing down in a big heap. Other accounts talk of muffled voices, footsteps and a fire which re-lights itself.
