The Burroughs was called the Burrows from 1316 until the 1890s, and took its name from local rabbit warrens. An unnamed Tudor inn, with its own brewery, provided refreshments for travellers. This inn may have been the White Bear, so called from at least 1736. Here the lord of the manor held his court until at least 1916. The present pub was built in 1932.
