Ahead of us is the old church and to our right the Chequers Inn and on the left the railings of the old Vicarage Field.
I am being thoroughly lazy today and have decided not to research the pub and its landlord in 1870 other than to say that there had been a pub on this site for a long time.
But I am intrigued by the signs on the gable end and may well explore these at a later date.
