The 17th Century cottages that comprise the Valiant Trooper have
served as alehouses for many centuries. The first traceable evidence is
when the property, then known as the Royal Oak, was left in the will of
one John Barnes in 1752. It then came into the possession of Isaac Dell
Master whose initials 'ID' and the date '1769' can be seen incised in the
brickwork alongside the main window.

The name changed to The Trooper
Alehouse in 1803 - rumoured to be because the Duke of Wellington once
met his troops here to discuss tactics. Today, this long tradition of
hospitality is continued by owners Tim and Helen O'Gorman. The Valiant
Trooper is a popular meeting place for local residents and visitors
alike.
