This is a fascinating place. Between Elizabethan times and World War II, it offered board and lodging to six travellers for one night - as set out in the terms of Richard Watts will of 1579. It's now fully restored and visitors can explore its narrow corridors and tiny rooms. Outside, there's an enchanting herb garden, offering timeworn advice on the medicinal benefits of herbs. This is also the house of Charles Dickens' short story, The Seven Poor Travellers – the narrator was the seventh traveller.
