About the Inn on the Green
The Inn on the Green is built from limestone rubble, and has a pan tile roof with gable stacks. Formerly known as the Generous Britain, this inn was originally a 17th Century Beer house. Inside can be found a headstone with the initials “R.B” dated 1824.
The story goes that a violent fight broke out when a local man returned home to find his wife with her lover. The husband killed the lover and the husband himself was reputedly hung at Lincoln Castle from where his friends recovered the grave stone and brought it back to rest at the pub.
