The premises can be found on a map dated 1769, of which part of the building was still being used as a farm house, including an oast house and barn which were still in use till the 1940s.

Opposite the pub were the Bowling Greens, opened on 28 June 1928 and containing no less than 5 greens, they replaced what had previously been the tea gardens of the pub

 

From the Anchor, (house magazine for Barclay, Perkins Anchor Brewery Volume XIV, No.7 July 1934.

Swan, Loose.

Bullock Visits Inn.

On fair-day, Mr A J Waters of the Swan Inn, Loose, was astonished to see a bullock enter his bar and more so, when he saw the pursued animal jump through an open window 20 inches by 32 inches - narrower than the animal's horns - and 2 feet from the ground. In jumping, the bullock stood on a chair and this caught on his hoof and followed through the window, all of this happening without breakage or damage.
