The Shepherd and Shepherdess pub and Holy House were built in the 18th century, but were altered in the late 19th century. The pub is decorated with two life-sized painted lead figures of a Shepherd and a shepherdess. The lead figures are said to have been imported from France as "Works of Art" to beat an embargo on lead imports during the Napoleonic Wars. These houses are Grade II Listed Buildings protected by law.
