When you visit the Chequers Inn you really will be experiencing a little bit of history. Documented deeds for the Chequers Inn go back to 1695, distinguished by the chequered sign, originally hanging from the roofs eaves and the local sign probably originates from the fact that the Salt Exchequer Offices for the local salterns had their headquarters at Lower Woodside Green.
