Richard and Ann Whinfel opened The Greyhound in 1680 as a coaching inn. They extended west in 1684 (from the current Whinfel Restaurant to the front door) at the same time as building Green Farm opposite to supply the Inn with its fresh produce. The front elevation, along the road was added in 1703. Not a huge amount has changed since then!
