Pub History
Pictoral Sign
The original design for the pictorial sign, which hangs outside the premises, was submitted by the artist, Mr G. E. Mackenney in 1976.
It portrays Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) praying in his tent for victory for his Roundheads over the Cavalier army of Charles I, and pledging his good intent for the people of England if that prayer was answered.

The Good Intent was first mentioned in the 1861 census, but the building has earlier origins.
