A historic and haunted venue...

​

The 1851 census lists The New Inn as a beer-house and it hosted locals and travellers alike during the 19th century. Similar to a building society it would lend money on a mortgage basis to help villagers purchase property. 

​

It is most notorious for a death which occurred on the premises during a bare-knuckle fight in 1889.

A dispute between 2 men over a button. Thomas Price and Alfred Waldron began arguing and after 3 rounds Alfred fell down dead. Despite local insistence that a murder had been committed, the coroner ruled that Prices sentance be reduced to manslaughter. 

​

Staff and locals alike have experienced unusual activity in the pub, including a brass kettle being thrown at customers by an unseen force, the figure of a man standing by the fireplace and toilets, a female apparition wandering through the kitchen wall, fridges being switched off at the wall and chairs moving on their own in the dead of night!
