The current building dates from the late 17th & early 18th century with later embellishments to the front. It was a small public house known as the Fox & Hounds prior to 1800 and had a famous lodger occupying the upper room with the bay window in 1925. Colonel T.E.Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) stayed here whilst serving at RAF Cranwell and wrote his famous book 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom' at this time ... an account of his leadership of Arab insurgence against the Turks in Syria during World War 1.
