Anchor History
The Anchor is yet another ancient building, probably late 16th century.
Nothing is recorded of it being an Inn until 1765, when it was listed in a billeting return as having stabling for one horse.
In 1834 the owner, William Pratchett of Hertford (a maltster), mortgaged it to a John Phillips, a brewer from Royston, who foreclosed two years later.
Incidentally, the name 'Anchor' has no connection with boats! -- an 'anker' was an ancient measure of liquor which contained about eight Imperial gallons.
This picture shows that there was a rather large addition made to the south side of original at some time!
Recently taken over by new owners 'Marstons' and has been through a major refurbishment program.
