It was built in the 17th and early 18th centuries.[1]

It originally consisted of two pubs side-by-side The Druid and The Hog's Head but merged in the 1980s. Despite this, it is still the oldest surviving pub in Kingston. Originally a coaching inn it was frequented by a number of patrons including Charles Dickens and Jerome K. Jerome, the latter has left an inscription on the upstairs window.[2]
