The Greyhound is one of the oldest public houses in England.
Its history dates back to at least 1744 when it was described as a 'publick' house (a common term in those days for all manner of wickedness). The Greyhound was also a popular stop for Parish Officials. Official records show that at one visitation here in 1769 they enjoyed a sumptuous feast of beef, fowls, bacon, bread and butter, with wine, porter, beer and tobacco. Some of these culinary delights can still be enjoyed by our customers today!
In 1829, those 'beating the bounds' of the parish were refreshed with nine gallons of porter valued at 15 shillings, and as much bread and cheese as they could eat.
The pub was re-erected in 1871 by Edwin Jones and shortly after rebuilt in 1930 from which the building maintains its original form. The gold painted Greyhound and large entrance lantern still stand as a permanent feature and a reminder of the pub's history since 1871.
