The London Inn was built c.1834. It was producing its ‘home brewed ales’ probably until Flowers & Sons of Stratford acquired the pub. William Melvin (1856) and George Chandler (1883) are both recorded as brewers. The London Inn was extended in 1982. The Old Ashley Court Room can be used for large or small functions for any occasion. The London Inn is attractive in the summer when hanging baskets and displays of bedding plants grace the exterior of the pub.
