The house as we see it today was built in 1892, however I have reference from the census's going back to 1851 of a pub with this name.

From between 1988 and 1994 it went under the name of the "Elephant," then from 1994 to 2002 as "Hogshead," 2002 and 2007 it was called "Jordan". Then in 2007 it has reverted again to its original name of the "Jolly Farmers" again, and some time between 2016 and 2021 it lost its "S" and is called the "Jolly Farmer."
