Records state that a building was located here from the 11th century and during medieval times it is believed to have been a monastic or manorial mint.<ref name="Thomas1977">{{cite book|last=Thomas|first=Ruth|title=South Wales|url=https://archive.org/details/southwales00thom|url-access=registration|access-date=22 January 2012|year=1977|publisher=Arco Pub.

It was run for many years in Tudor times by the Raglan family. In the mid 17th century there is evidence that its owner Edward Craddock was again using it as a mint to "mint his own tokens as there was a shortage of coin at this time."<ref name="LMH"/> There are five other pubs and four [[restaurant]]s in the town.
