Circa 1620. Formerly the Town House and an inn, according to list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1102596 , although the Town House or Gild Hall illustrated by the Victoria County History (1914) is evidently a different building. The village was formerly on the main road from Cambridge to Ware and the VCH mentions that several inns are recorded in the 15th and 16th centuries.

According to the English Heritage listing, the arched head of the carriage entrance between the first and second bays is C19 . Further altered and extended c.1900, when the porch and the entrance on the far left were added; the left-hand bay window is also modern as a Victorian photo in VCH shows only an oriel window on the first floor here.

Late C16, extended in late C17; originally 3 bays with the right-hand bay, which formerly contained the forge on the ground floor, added later. The ground-floor oriel in this bay is C19 but, according to the listing, the left-hand ground-floor oriel, partly obscured by the car, is original, as is the door surround.
