Known to most as the Mars Inn and originally known as Marsh farm house (owing to the soft ground in the area); this house was owned by Mr Eaton of Loftus Brick Works, where bricks were made from about 1830 to 1870. Bryan Richardson tells us: ”The original name of this house was Marsingill House. I researched this around 1980 when I was landlord of the Mars Inn and the sign was changed from Mars the Roman god to Mars the planet and people argued as to which it should be. Neither as it turned out.”
