"A tiny beer house situated at the far end of Brown Horse Row, a row of four small, low cottages off what is now School Lane. Small it may have been, but in its early days it was also a small brewery and in the 1800’s it had room to take in school-teachers as paying lodgers. In 1902 the ‘Horse’ sold 54 barrels and 132 dozen bottles of beer making a total of £128 income for that year. This small ale house closed sometime in the 1920’s or 30’s and was pulled down, along with the whole row around 1960 to make way for more school buildings."
