With a rich history tracing back to 1852, The New Inn, previously named The Bracken Fox, had its roots firmly established by a young farmer and innkeeper, William Wrigglesworth, at the tender age of twenty-six. The existing structure, a 1930's roadhouse, stands adjacent to the site of the former New Inn. This more modern establishment once housed its brew house, faithfully serving the pub for years until only recently. The New Inn continues to embody its storied past while evolving with the times, in the present day, The Inn at Scarcroft is a proud member of the lovely Vintage Inns chain.
