Built in 1845, the Warren House Inn replaced the New Inn that stood on the opposite side of the road, demolished in the same year. This move meant the inn moved from common land to Duchy Land, and rent was therefore due. When first built, it was called the Moreton Inn and the name was changed later in the century, based on the nearby rabbit warrening businesses. It is the second highest inn in England and has a peat fire burning in the in public bar which is aid to have been kept burning for over 100 years.
