More about this scene
This rough-cast, three-storied and three-gabled public house was built in 1615 beside the 12th-century flint church of St John the Evangelist, and its ales quenched the thirst of race-goers who flocked to Merrow Downs for the horse races during Whit week. These were immensely popular from the middle of the 17th century through to Queen Victoria's reign, when the meetings at Ascot and Epsom gradually supplanted them in popularity.
