Built in the 15th century on land belonging to the church The Running Horse was originally known as Rummings House, after the infamous Eleynor Rumminge who was written about by Henry VIII's poet John Skelton. The poem can be found on the wall in the pub. History has it that Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I spent a night at the Inn due to floods making the river Mole impossible to cross.
