Named after Ann Rollings a former landlady of The Wheatsheaf.
‘Ann Rollings, the landlady of the Wheatsheaf in 1800, endured the loss of her husband Benjamin, who succumbed to consumption. A rather large woman, she walked with a noticeable limp caused by gout in her big toe. Ann entertained patrons with boisterous and often risqué songs played on her fiddle, and her cheeky jokes earned her a reputation throughout the local community. Once the last of the drinkers had departed, she would often unwind in here in what had once been the sitting room.’
