Yes, but it used to have three pubs (maybe more ?) in the early 1800's, one of which was "The Scotch Arms", renamed "The Bacchus" around 1870, and the innkeeper was John Temple , an ancestor, who died 1815. His wife, Isabella Temple, continued to run the inn until about 1830. John's family memorial stone is in St.Cuthbert's church yard .
