This inspired Conan Doyle to write the Sherlock Holmes story The Dancing Men. In the story Holmes and Watson are called to Norfolk by Hilton Cubitt, a local squire, to investigate a mystery. Holmes eventually solves the case by cracking a code which consists of little dancing figures. The pub, a listed building, has a blue plaque marking the association and it also inspired the name of the Dancing Men brewery.
