Historic Interest
In 1844 & 1855 John Hood is listed in White's Directory as a lime burner & beer house keeper in Willisham . This may have been the origins of the pub? Building reputedly cost about £800 to build in 1850. The pub was forced to close temporarily in 2006, when a burst water-main caused the collapse of nearby lime pits, leading to subsidence badly damaging the pub. Happily it re-opened early in 2007. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/1018
This Pub serves 2 changing beers and 2 regular beers.
