Originally called the "White Hart" but changed its name to the "Bo Peep" after the area it is located on, now named Hewitts Road.

The name changed in 1972 after licensee Leonard Shepherd purchased the building in 1971.

(Previous) Our Story...as we know it.

This is the history as it was passed on to us.

In 1971 Leonard Shepherd, a distinguished sportsman of the parish, obtained the license and in 1972 changed the name officially to "The Bo Peep".

In 1987 the house was transferred to James Ellard, a retired constable of the parish, and his wife Joy. In 1989 they were joined by their eldest son Chris and for the first time in its history three names were recorded on the register by the Licensing Justices.

In 2006 the inn was transferred to Graham Buckley and Kate Mansfield.

The inn has seen and undergone many changes since it was first built but its history remains unchanged so stay and enjoy the fayre and reflect on those bygone days......
