Brick & Tile


Located on Low Street. Previously the building was the vicarage of Rev. Thomas Hurt (1744-1820). In 1820 William Bennett opened it as an Inn, although he is first mentioned as a Publican in parish register of 1827.

In 1838 it was the point of departure of Thos. Wilsons waggon to Mansfield, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. In 1851, the census return included a troop of Comedians, which suggests that entertainment was sometimes held there.

A sheep was roasted whole in the Inn-yard to celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887. On a map of 1933 the business was still trading.

 It is now the premises of Curry's (Electrical Goods).
