The Old Plow Inn is down the hill from Speen at Flowers Bottom. It dates back to the early 17th century (possibly 15th century); Samuel Pepys and Charles II are reputed to have been visitors. The Old Plow was originally built as two cottages and later became 'Ye Plow Inn'. At that time most of the owners of the inn were blacksmiths who shod horses in the blacksmith's shop attached to the inn and talked corn and wheat prices round the bar with local farmers and visitors to the Duke of Buckingham's estate.
