Directions to next pub: On leaving the pub, note the splendid exterior of the Royal Bell on the other side of the High Street. This pub has been closed for many years but there is now a possible scheme for it which is at pre-application stage so there may be a positive outcome for the building in due course. The Royal Bell is grade II listed and the listing description is as follows: “Architect Ernest Newton. This range was rebuilt in 1898 on the site of an earlier hostelry of 1666. 4 to 5 storeys red brick. Slate roof with 9 pedimented dormers.
