Awarded CAMRA Best Regional Pub for 2011.Named after the only Rawcliffe man who would appear to have gained recognition on a national scale, James Hirst, a local eccentric who invested his inheritance well. He wore a red coat with blue sleeves, harlequin breeches, a glossy waistcoat made of drakes feathers' and a lambskin hat, a full three yards in circumference. He also constructed all manner of mechanical contraptions, including a threshing machine and a flying machine. Being an attraction in his own right he always gave the crowd something to talk about by riding in his wickerwork carriage which had a sail attached for wind assisted drive or on his pet bull called Jupiter, which he used instead of a horse. We'll have to get there and see if the pub matches up!
