What people say
Louise Joy

"The Old White Swan has plenty of fun tidbits from throughout its history! Dating back to the 16th century, the Grade II listed building once exhibited the world’s tallest man, Mr O’Brian, in 1781.
Step outside and you'll also find a medieval courtyard, home to a rock with four steps. This used to be a mounting stone, helping passengers board their stagecoaches.
As for ghosts... there are plenty of them too! A group of Catholics used to gather in the pub for secret meetings, planning their escape to France. They've been known to rearrange chairs into a circle at night and relight the pubs fire."
