A former coaching inn dating from the 16th century, with an 18th-century frontage. According to Alfred Hedges' book, "Inns & Inn Signs of Norfolk and Suffolk, it is claimed that the Fleece was built by a local builder from the excess profits he made from building Boxford rectory. Hedges also tells us that the oak panelling comes from old box pews which prior to 1887 were in the local parish church.
