Old pub opposite St Peter's car park. Was in use as the Wheatsheaf in the late 18th century and may be older. Murderers were once gibbeted on a close by common and it is said that the last man to be hanged in Wisbech ate his last meal in the pub. Said to be haunted. Renamed the Royal. Now a Wetherspoon with the original name of the Wheatsheaf (2009).
