A former coaching inn dating from the 16th century, with an 18th-century frontage. According to Alfred Hedges' book, "Inns & Inn Signs of Norfolk and Suffolk, it is claimed that the Fleece was built by a local builder from the excess profits he made from building Boxford rectory. Hedges also tells us that the oak panelling comes from old box pews which prior to 1887 were in the local parish church.

Historic Interest

Former coaching inn. For many years a world-famous jazz venue, but the small size of the pub finally forced a move to Kersey Mill in April 2008 (and subsequently to the Stoke by Nayland Club). 2008 - Paul Hazelton. Landlord reported at 5 High Street in 1881 census. Has been reopened in Dec 2011 after being closed since Feb 2011. Now owned by Mill Green Brewery who have refurbished the building. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/68
