This is a black and white 17th century building. It has now been extended. It was first known as The Boot and Slipper but was changed to The Royal Oak during the late 1870’s to 1880’s. It was then changed back to The Boot and Slipper.
Before the extension, part of the pub was a house.

Main Bar
We held our first sceance with the board in the extension. Nothing much happened but there was a cold spot by the cellar door.
  
12.50am

A second sceance was started in the small dining room with Joan, Trudy, Mandy and Kirsty(Joan’s granddaughter). Joan and Trudy went cold and the glass went to Joan.
Phil’s camera went out of focus. When asked who was in the room, it came back with three men and one woman .It is said there was Tom Oakes, Ray and two other people but we could not get any information on them. Personnal readings came through for Mandy and Joan

  
1.50am Both Kath and Gill left the sceance and went into the small dining room. Paul joined us. Paul thought he saw movement under the stairs. Kath saw two lights. Paul and Kath went cold. With this, Gill took a photo of an orb. Photo
Orb
2.35am Paul, Gill and Kath rejoined the sceance. The EMF reader gave high readings. Mixed messages and wrong spellings were given on the board and no one could understand the messages.  
3am Finish  
CONCLUSION: The location seems to be very active with sightings on a regular basis. Any ghosts that are there must be shy of new faces. With only a few banging doors and cold spots which can be attributed to draughts this location needs another investigation to see if we can capture proof on video.
