The Barley Sheaf was situated on Main Street. This pub has now been demolished with two semi-detached houses built on the site. Present by 1841 when the publican was John Foster. The Barley Sheaf had a variable history as it was the custom of one of the first rectors to rattle his stick across the barred windows telling customers that it was time for church. In 1904, the owner of Higham Hall found out that his footman visited the inn after church; consequently he bought the inn and closed it.
