Early on, and a common brick wall separated its pub from the blacksmith's shop next door. At one point,someone knocked a hole in the wall so the pub could serve the blacksmith a beer while he was working, earning the pub its nickname, and “The Hole in t' Wall.”The pub has since expanded into the area that was previously occupied by the blacksmith's shop. As you can expect of a pub of that age,it has a list of celebrity visitors, including Charles Dickens. According to the owners, or minute has changed since the 1600s,with the exception of adding contemporary requirements of central AC, plumbing, or electrical,and the like.
Today, the cozy pub serves a variety of ales (including those made by the Robinson Brewery, and which now owns it) and dishes such as curry and pork pie,both inside as well as on a lovely outdoor patio.
