Originally called “The Pye House at the sign of the Crown “and shown as such on a map of 1765, probably got its name from fields it backed onto Upper and Lower Pye Fields. It was situated on the west side of the main road. Around 1866 it was pulled down and the present building was built immediately opposite on the eastern side of the road.

Between 2008 and 2014 the pub is changed from a Beefeater pub to a Toby Carvery.
