This shop was originally the premises of Mr Money, Boot and Shoemaker in the High Street. After Mr. Money's retirement, Mrs Francis Henley rented the shop for her daughter , Hazel, to run as a boutique. It was later rented by Mona Wilkins whose daughter also ran it as a boutique. It was finally run by Julia Rouse, daughter of Don and Mary, as The Farmhouse Pantry .
