The New Inn, sporting its new Watney's Red Barrel sign by the door and the sign board with the house style lettering, stands up the hill in Road Weedon on the old London to Holyhead turnpike. The inn is now called the Heart of England, and actually stands in the parish of Dodford. The boundary runs along the A45 and veers left by the Lawn Works to meet the A5, Watling Street.
