Punch Bowl
The Punch Bowl has been a pub for over 400 years. It has suffered two major fires over the last 150 years, however, the restoration work has retained the tavern's distinctive character. The overhanging gable at the front of the pub was added during the 1930s in a style sometimes called "Brewers Tudor."
Towards the late 17th Century, throughout the country, the punch bowl design came to be associated with the Whig Party. Visitors to any pub displaying a punch bowl sign could be pretty certain of the locals political persuasion.
