There is an alehouse located next to the stone bridge, owned by a man named Joss. Also located in Sherrer are the stables of Ser Willum, who may be the Knight of Sherrer.[1]

A Game of Thrones

At the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, the population of Sherrer is decimated, and their houses burned by Lannister men-at-arms posing as brigands. The people find shelter in the stone holdfast of the village, and the raiders consider setting a fire to smoke them out, before deciding to attack Mummer's Ford instead.[1]

Afterwards, the surviving villagers are brought to King's Landing by Ser Karyl Vance, Ser Raymun Darry, and Ser Marq Piper, as witnesses against the raiders. The former owner of the destroyed alehouse, Joss, tells of the attack to the Hand of the King, Lord Eddard Stark, and his story is corroborated by an old man who used to work in Ser Willum's stables. In response, Eddard sends a force led by Lord Beric Dondarrion to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to justice.[1]
