The White Horse was situated on the High Street. This grade-II listed pub closed in April 2015 and was secured as an ACV by villagers a year later, but remains closed
In June, a fresh Change of Use planning application on the White Horse (similar to a previous one) was rejected by North Herts Council - for conversion of the pub to housing, whilst retaining a micro-pub. It spurred a huge number of objections from local residents wanting to see the Grade II listed pub reopened in its entirety. A Council decision is awaited. Now closed for over 10 years, concerns are also being expressed about the building’s deteriorating condition and the lack of upkeep.
