Ray enhanced the old traditional English character and style of the pub during his time there and was particularly popular with his customers.
The beer was renowned for miles around and when he retired the pub gardens were packed with customers and friends bidding him farewell.
Raymond ran the pub along with his wife Muriel and daughters Ann and Christine. Raymond sadly died in April 1995.
