The Dragon Inn was situated on The Street. This grade-II listed pub was known as The Green Dragon in the mid 19th century and is now in residential use.

 
Listed building details:
Former public house (closed 1966), now private dwelling. Late C16 and C17, in several phases. Facade of c.1920. Timber framed and plastered, with early C20 plaster panels infilled with ropework pargetting. Roof has asbestos slates to front slope and pantiles to rear. 2 storeys and attic. A range of 3 casement windows with a single horizontal glazing bar to each light. 2 doorways: to the left a 6-panel door (the upper 2 panels glazed) and flat bracketed hood; 4-panel door to right. The ground floor windows have hoodmoulds, that to the right hand window continued over the adjacent doorway. Gable stacks; a later stack in the front roof slope. Single storey weatherboarded addition to right. l 1/2-storey rear wing. Interior somewhat altered and original layout unclear; at some time the house has suffered fire damage. The left end is the earliest part: there is a 2-bay ground floor room with chamfered-joist ceiling and open fireplace. At the right end, work of early-mid C17 is visible on the upper floor. Both the main stacks appear to be later insertions. C17 lean-to at rear, perhaps for a stair, with a late C17 secondary window with square mullions and diamond glazing bars exposed in the rear wall. The roof (not fully inspected) seems to be almost entirely rebuilt.
