The license of the Butchers Arms was allowed to lapse voluntarily because of lack of trade. It closed on 2nd June 1916. Rowland Fowles, landlord in 1902, was previously at the Horse & Farrier in the village.
The building is now a private house called the Old Butchers Arms. In the central first floor window recess, which has been covered over, there is an old hand written painted sign which has been preserved.
