three swans

Dating back to 1517, this former coaching inn in the town of Market Harborough was chosen by King Charles I as a rest stop on his way to the Battle of Naseby in 1645 during the Civil War (he lost)

It is still in use today as a Hotel and Wedding Venue.  You can read more about it here, and see it's updated decor and menu (and book a room if you so wish)
