This Inn has been made famous by its association with the Lieutenant Goldsmith R.N. who, in 1824 helped by some similarly drunken associates dislodged the Logan Rock (on Treen Cliff nearby) and was required to replace it. This he achieved by a brilliant feat of engineering. He then went on to re-erect Lanyon Quoit in Madron parish.
