The Cap & Stocking
Now on Borough Street, but the original Cap and Stocking was on Cap and Stocking Lane reflecting what was one of the village’s main industries – the hosiery trade. The original building was demolished in 1910 to make way for the current building. Many locals recall the bird and fish room with its stuffed specimens. Also noted for its flat Bass served not by beer engine, but from a jug.
Harrison House
A free school was founded in this Elizabethan timber framed house in 1575. It was later extended in 1675. At the turn of the 18th Century, it was inhabited by John Heathcoat, who invented an industrial lace machine, and whose work amongst others spelt the end of the cottage framework industry and led to the Luddite Riots.
The Fox and Hounds
Listed as a pub from 1875 to 1974 when it became a private house. A landlord in the 1920s kept a fox as a pet.
