Dist:0.2km<br/>The White Hart is exactly how you imagine a country pub to be. Steeped in history, this old pub appears in the Haunted Pub Guide. It used to be a stop-over venue on the Cornwall to London road when people herded their geese and other livestock to London.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This 12th century pub is situated on the edge of the New Forest and is reputed to be the oldest inn in the New Forest. The original three cottages were converted into a traditional thatched pub and restaurant and were once the home of the Purkiss family. It was their ancestor who found the body of King William Rufus after he had been mysteriously killed whilst hunting nearby. A poor charcolburner, he trundled the Kings remains in his cart to Winchester Cathedral, where the monks quickly buried his body. For his efforts Purkiss was given an acre or two of land around the pub.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A traditional pub name which is no doubt pagan.

There was three men came out of the west,
Their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow,
John Barleycorn should die.
They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in,
Throwed clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow,
John Barleycorn was dead.

Then they let him lie for a very long time
Till the rain from heaven did fall,
Then little Sir John sprung up his head,
And soon amazed them all.
They let him stand till midsummer
Till he looked both pale and wan,
And little Sir John he growed a long beard
And so became a man.

They hired men with the scythes so sharp
To cut him off at the knee,
They rolled him and tied him by the waist,
And served him most barbarously.
They hired men with the sharp pitchforks
Who pricked him to the heart,
And the loader he served him worse than that,
For he bound him to the cart.

They wheeled him round and round the field
Till they came unto a barn,
And there they made a solemn mow
Of poor John Barleycorn.
They hired men with the crab-tree sticks
To cut him skin from bone,
And the miller he served him worse than that,
For he ground him between two stones.

Here�s little Sir John in a nut-brown bowl,
And brandy in a glass;
And little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl
Proved the stronger man at last.
And the huntsman he can�t hunt the fox,
Nor so loudly blow his horn,
And the tinker he can�t mend kettles or pots
Without a little of Barleycorn.

English Folk Song
