The Old Swan - Blue Plaque - Inscription
This was an early 16th century tavern. During the Civil War period the innkeeper, Edward Maddocks, struck brass tokens, gaining the house a reputation as a mint. Monthly manorial courts were sometimes held there including the last court leet. As an inn it entertained many celebrities in the 1930’s, including William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies and the then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
