The Hamers Arms was first listed in 1848 under the landlord Bernard Woolstenholme. It is possible that the pub was previously known as the Pinners Arms, being renamed the Hamers Arms in recognition of Richard Hamer who bought the four Summerseat Mills from Sir Robert Peel's family during the 1830's when they withdrew from the Lancashire towns to Nantwich.
By the 1840's Richard Hamer had set about improving the village, including new housing and a school. He enlarged Peel Hall and in 1836, he built Summerseat House - a school for delicate children.
In 1845 he subscribed £500 towards the building of a new chapel, which gave the school, room for expansion.
Richard Hamer's property was divided amongst his daughters, one of which married John Robinson Kay another great shaper of Summerseat.
So the name lives on at The Hamers Arms with the Lions Head from the Hamer Coat of Arms hanging outside the pub.
