The pub, which takes its name from Swiss woollen merchants who used to be based nearby,[2][3] has operated on this site since at least 1756.[4] During that year it appears in Freemasonry records as a Masonic Lodge meeting place.[5]
The present building dates to 1882, and the architect was Henry Cotton.[1]
