    Horse Shoe Inn in St Martins Lane

    I think you are right Vivienne. The Inn was probably named the 3 horse Shoe because it had 3 gables. It was built for Elena Ferrers (nee Bermingham) and her 1st husband, Lord Edmund Ferrers, who was for a time the Lord of the manor. Thank you very much for your input Vivienne.
