The Doffcocker public house stands opposite where an old toll house stood. This is not the original building, but the pub is what is known as a calendar pub. The sign on the pub shows another possible, but unlikely derivation for the name, a man 'doffing' or removing his 'cockers' (boots) to wade across a stream.

The calendar design is: four floors, one for each season, the ground floor having seven rooms, one for each day of the week, below this 12 cellars, one for each month, in the pub 52 doors, one for each week of the year, and 365 panes of glass, one for each day of the week.
