Reverted back to its original name since the 18th century. From 2014 the pub changed hands and underwent a major transformation and refurbishment. It also was renamed the Witch & Sow which referred to an event in 1612 when it was said that three women, later condemned as witches, rode out to the neighbouring village of Ravensthorpe "upon a sowes back"! The pub is in a delightful position, standing opposite the attractive ironstone Jacobean grammar school. It comprises two distinctly different areas; a contemporary restaurant to the right of the entrance in the oldest section, which is a thatched and whitewashed building probably dating from the 17th or 18th century. To the left in the 19th century brick building is the bar area built on a split level with bare floorboards. This is bright and uncluttered and is complimented by two large bays with big sash-windows. The old stables once housed the now defunct Nobby's Brewery before it relocated to Thrapston.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 2 regular beers.
Ward Arms, Guilsborough
