Mentioned in York archives as far back as 1503, the pub was at one point owned by John Peckett, Lord Mayor of York in 1701. It was possibly named by members of the Merchant Adventurers’ Guild, who traded in fleeces and wool.

It is also reputedly York’s most haunted pub. Its ghosts include Lady Peckett, a Canadian airman, a 17th century man and a poltergeist.
