The Talbot has existed as an inn since 1714, and in the early 1960s it was the largest hotel in Stow-in-the-Wold. Though originally a coaching inn, it does not have the usual wide archway entrance. This may have been reduced when a new frontage was added in the 1840s, or the coaches may have entered at the back of the property via Talbot Court from Sheep Street. Between 1771 and 1864, the brass letterbox was used to post 'corn returns'. These weekly reports on the amount and average price of corn sold locally were used by the government to control the trade.
