The Saracen’s Head
219 Watling Street West Towcester, NN12 6BX

Dating back at least four centuries, The Saracen’s Head has a rich local history. It is, however, its connection with Charles Dickens for which it is most renowned – the inn features in the great author’s very first novel, The Pickwick Papers.

'I say,' remonstrated Bob Sawyer, looking in at the coach
window, as they pulled up before the door of the Saracen's Head,
Towcester, 'this won't do, you know.'
