OLD BELL

 

 

Location:  Near the top of Sadler Gate, it is on the left-hand side as you walk down from Iron Gate.

Historical Information:  A black and white 17th century, three-storey, timbered building that stands with the entrance at right angles to Sadler Gate. It was the Meynell family who had this fine coaching inn built around 1680. John Campion acquired the freehold in 1780, and added a fine ballroom, which was subject to later alteration. During the floods of 1842, the nine year old grandson of John Campion II was 'launched in a was-tub in the cellars' - the purpose to save some vintage bottles of wine placed there by his great-grandfather!

Curiosities:  The builders Ford and Weston added the mock-Tudor timbering as part of a decorative refurbishment in 1929, using timber that had been rescued from other local sites.
