The Running Horses, Mickleham

Historia

The Running Horses stands on Old London Road, at the centre of pretty Mickleham village. Opposite the ancient church of St Michael, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book. 

Most people agree that the inn was built in the 16th century. Architectural historians discovered original brickwork features that can still be seen in the cellar. It’s thought the land it stands on may once have been part of Mickleham Manor. The house first belonged to Thomas Stydolf who died in 1546, and whose family owned much of the surrounding countryside.
