Built in 1812, and changed name around about 1964 to the "Toastmasters Inn". The pub served the needs of the thirsty workers in the local cement industry for many years, and it is known that at one time its cellar served as the village mortuary!

MALLING.

Application was made for a spirit license for the "Royal Exchange" beer-shop, also for the "Windmill," both at Burham. Mr. George and Mr. Prall supported the applications and Mr. Hoar opposed. After a long argument a license was granted to the "Royal Exchange," but refused to the "Windmill."
