This historic hotel is situated in the high street of Stony Stratford. The town has for centuries occupied an important position on the old Roman Watling Street, the Cock has stood since 1470. In 1742 the great fire of Stont Stratford was started by a chambermaid in the adjacent Bull hotel. Fearfull that she would lose her position for burning a sheet while ironing, she stuffed it up the chimney, starting a blaze that rapidly spread and destroyed both inns and the old church. When the Cock was rebuilt it included wealth of ironwork projecting over the street which can still be seen today. During the hayday of coach ravel there were as many as 100 coaches coming it the town everyday. The inn was the offical stop for the Manchester flyer, with a 25 minute stop for dinner.
