The Nags Head was also known as the Horse’s Head, and then The Wayside Inn. It was opposite the church and after it closed in 1930 it became accommodation for reservoir workers until it was demolished in 1966.
The Romantic poet, John Keats, stayed there in June 1818. I came across this information through a letter he wrote to his brother, George Keats, on 27th June, whilst staying at the pub.
