Description: | This shows Chalkleys Fishing Tackle and sports shop to the left, The Caprice Café and to the right the Eclipse Inn. Chalkleys traded from the 1880s to 1965.
The Eclipse Inn dates back to about 1580 and is reputedly haunted by the ghost of Alice Lisle, a noblewoman in her 70s who was ordered to be burned at the stake by Judge Jefferys, but whose sentence was commuted to beheading by King James, for harbouring refugees from the Monmouth Rebellion. She was held in the Eclipse building to await her execution in the square outside on 26th August 1685.
