History

The White Horse was originally a staging post for travellers between London and Norwich, and there was a blacksmith's workshop attached to the pub.

In the late 17th century a notorious local highwayman was arrested and tried for his crimes. A hearing was conducted in the room that is now the public bar and being found guilty, he was hanged from a tree close by.
