More about this scene

Middleton is an ancient place, its name suggesting a Saxon origin and, with such a history, it is heartening to know that some of its very old buildings still survive. One is this 16th-century inn which stands on the corner of Long Street. Half-timbered and built upon a stone plinth, it was apparently once used as the courtroom and jail.
