Built sometime between 1620 and 1970 and named after the protestant reformation group of the 1300s and the pit in which they were burnt at the stake for heresy, this pub has stood on the grounds of the burnings since the 1600s.

This one is slightly more gory than the others. In one room of the house, the bodies of two adults were found with human teeth marks on their legs - after dying from the plague.

Next to the bodies of the parents was the corpse of a young girl – the story goes that this child had not been consumed by the plague, but rather had choked to death on the flesh of her parents having been forced to consume them.

The ghost of a young girl is said to haunt this area of Tombland and Tombland Alley behind Augustine Steward House.
