There has been an Inn on this site since 1457.
Originally called The George the name was changed
in Tudor Times to The White Hart when it became a posting house where wagons would stop and collect
post and parcels for carriage to London, Oxford
and Henley. During the Civil War King Charles I
fled to Nettlebed after his defeat at the Battle of Reading in 1643 and it is rumoured that his troops stayed here until their surrender.
Many things have changed since then but you can still find some of the old character of this great building with its crooked floors and original beams and fire places.
The White Hart is just 29 miles from Heathrow airport and 67 miles from Junction 6 off the M40.
