History
Odddfellows Arms
The unusually named Odddfellows Arms public house is in the village. During the 1980s, a mistake by a signwriter resulted in the incorrect spelling of the name Oddfellows.[6] In 1994, the brewery tried to correct this, only to face a backlash by the locals. The pub has since closed, been listed for housing and then refurbished and re-opened with the unusual name still above the door.[7] Until 1850 the Odddfellows was known as the Red Lion and is believed to have served the public since 1750.[8]
