The Commercial Inn is located on Main Street, it was featured in the serial “Emmerdale” and named the ‘Woolpack’.

This was the site of a lodge house at the entrance of the Coach Road to Esholt Hall.

The name “Clapper” is derived from the Latin claperius, meaning a pile of stones, this type of bridge was simply constructed by laying slabs of stone on piers or piles of stones for support.
