1671HistoryThe Three Guns Public HouseOur Village
The Three Gunns - Though no longer an inn but a greengrocers, the quaint chimneys of this old house in the High Street proclaims its former use and sign, 'The Three Gunns'. Its chimney stack takes the shape of three hooped cannon of the 15th or early 16th century, to which the old house belongs. It is a relic of the vanished iron industry of the district and the days when guns for the King's navy were founded at Hugget's Furnace and many other foundry in the neighbourhood. 'The Gunn' was then a frequent sign for Sussex village inns. The brickwork of four hundred years ago may be seen in the interior of this ancielnt dwelling.
The earliest date at which it can be identified in the Court Rolls is 1671, from which time its ownership is traced without a break till the Rolls end in 1814. It was held as a copyhold from 1671 to 1774
