'The Antelope (76) has a 500 year history. It was a coaching Inn with its own horses, coaches, smithy and even funeral vehicles, and at one stage even brewed its own beer. In the 19th Century coaches left here for Bristol, Bath and London. This building also shows evidence of its earlier origins with a massive stone fireplace in the bar and wooden beams.'
