The building was the Angler's Inn, established in 1760 (Speight p.470) and the landlord was John Inman. One Henry Ovington lived at the inn in 1797 when a meeting of landowners took place to discuss the enclosure of the land in the area (Baistrick p 54). In 1882 the licence was given up, the property then owned by Mr. Tennant of Chapel House (q.v.),and the nearby Tennant Arms was established.
