Dating back to the 1500’s “The Whody” has long been established as a local favourite with the charm and character it offers in abundance. Over the years the pub has also moved with the times and, although it retains a lot of its original features, sympathetic improvements have been made making the pub a favourite with visitors to the area.

Back in the 16th century the resident of what is now the pub decided to apply for a licence to sell alcohol. His fellow villagers were unconvinced that he would be granted the licence and for a while he was the talk of the village for his crazy idea. Shortly after he received a letter from the authorities acknowledging his application and, far more importantly, shortly after that he received another letter granting his application. On opening his letter and obviously in a state of shock he opened the front door, letter in hand and shouted out across the village “Who’d Have Thought It!”
