Denmans Head

Originally called the Kings Head and located on the Market Place, the property was built in about 1750. A Friendly Society was held there during the 1760's, where a 6d fine was imposed on any member who cursed, swore or failed to attend church.

This pub became known as the Denmans Head in 1820, when landlord William Cooper was so impressed by the defence of Queen Caroline at her trial by Mr Justice Denman, that he changed the name in his honour.

In 1877 it was listed as "Denmans Head Commercial & Family Hotel". In 1978 it was the second biggest hotel owned by the Home Brewery Company. The property still exists as the Denmans Head Hotel.
