A black plaque on a white wall commemorates Prince Charlie's House, built in 1690 and owned by Justice Thomas Shepherd during the Stuart rebellion of 1745. It was slept in by Bonnie Prince Charlie during his advance on London and again during his retreat when his pursuer, the Duke of Cumberland, slept in the same bed on the same night. In an exchange of fire with the retreating army a Highlander and a local farmer were shot.
