Wokingham pub history index
The building began as three cottages built in the early 19th
century. Thomas Searle was the landlord from 1830, when it was a one-roomed
alehouse, until his death in 1887, by which time it was an inn with five
bedrooms.
By 2011, and despite its humble beginning, the building is a listed one. However
the inside of the house has been extensively altered and opened up so that today
it bears little relationship to the original interior. *
