The earliest documentary evidence for the name Queen’s Head is 1825, when an entry in the Alehouse Recognisance book showed that Mary Robinson was the licensee. The previous year the name of the licensee was originally Robert Robinson but that was crossed out and replaced by the name Mary Robinson. Mary took over the running of the pub after the death of her husband. For some reason, the name of the pub changed a couple of times and in 1826, with Mary Robinson in charge, the pub was called the Horse and Trumpet and in 1827, the Bull. With only one public house in the village, we have to assume that the pub for which Robert Robinson was licensee in 1820 was the Queen’s Head. Indeed the Queen’s Head may well have medieval origins, situated as it is in the heart of what would have been the medieval village of Saddington.
