History

Public House, formerly The Sun Inn, called the No Name Bar since 1995. Mid C19 alteration of late medieval stone house of which the side wall with corbels is visible along a short medieval lane or passage. Any existing old internal features have been covered over. The Sun Inn is listed as early as 1815. George Chiles landlord in 1911. The three-storey range to the left appears later C19 but could be a remodelling of an earlier C19 house. It was known as Magdala House, occupied by B J Thomas, tobacconist in 1911 and 1926. The numbering of High Street is confusing, these may be Nos 24.
