In 1756 four soldiers were billeted here. The last record of this pub occurred in 1868 with the transfer of license from John Vice to John Cashmore. Two years later the pub was, for less than a year, known as the Sir Robert Napier, which a year later, 1871, became the Rose Inn. A sale notice in the Coventry Standard in June 1874 described the Rose Inn as "late the Pack-horse".
