The Gate Inn was situated on the High Street. was a former farmhouse. It was well known for the huge Cedar of Lebanon tree in the front yard.The landlady for many years was Lizzie Austin, the last landlord was Tom Childs when it closed it's doors in 1959. A sign hung above the door... "This gate hangs well and hinders none, refresh and pay and travel on. but if perchance a storm appear, furl up your sail and enter here." In later years it was converted into flats, and then into the Tudor Gate Hotel. After the hotel closed, it sat empty until a builder did a wonderful renovation and made it into two beautiful houses.
