Sign in Azuza, 24 High Street. When Good Queen Bess came to the throne this house was then the Greyhound inn. Here was standing for 400 horses, the paved and cobbled yards and passages must have echoed to the shouts and to the jingle of spurs of soldiers passing though on the way to repel the threatened invasion from Spain. The tankard was lifted - "The Queen, God Bless her".
[We are not aware of any evidence supporting the claim that "The Greyhound" was an inn in the Elizabethan period]
