The Royal Oak which closed in August 2021 is up for sale for £235,000 through Fleurets Limited Midlands.
The inn’s roots as a pub stretch back to 1722 according to the earliest records. The larger room was the original inn which had two rooms.
However, the building originally served as rest-house for The Knights Templar during the Holy Crusades of the 12th century.
