Packhorse Inn

The Packhorse Inn in Southstoke within the English county of Somerset is a Grade II listed building which was largely rebuilt in 1674. It was changed from a farmhouse to a pub in the 19th century but closed in 2012. A local campaign has achieved designation as an asset of community value has raised money to renovate it. The pub reopened in March 2018. History The building existed as a farmhouse although its date of construction is unknown. It was rebuilt in 1674 when the date was carved into a stone over the front door. It became a pub in the mid 19th century, although another building in the village had previously been known as "The Packhorse Inn". In 1939 the licensee was Mrs Emily Rose. The inn was owned by George’s Brewery. It closed as a pub in 2012 and was sold with plans being submitted to turn it into a private house. A campaign has been instigated by the local population to save the pub and they successfully campaigned to have it designated as an asset of community value by Bath and North East Somerset council. This provides some protection from development under the Localism Act 2011. The campaign group organised a share issue with over 200 investors raising £601,000 and made plans for the refurbishment and reopening of the pub. By September 2016 the total raised reached £685,000, enough to buy the building. In March 2018 the pub reopened. Architecture The two-storey stone building has freestone quoins and a tiled roof. The gabled dormers contain attics. Underneath the building is a cellar. It has a taproom which can seat 20 people and a lounge bar for another 20 with a large garden.

Old Town Hall, Midhurst

The Old Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Square in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. The building, which is managed by the Midhurst Town Trust, is a Grade II listed building. History The member of parliament for Guildford, Sir Anthony Brown, donated a site in the Market Square to the burgesses of Midhurst for the purposes of erecting a market hall in 1551. The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in buff brick with an ashlar front and was completed later that year. It was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage facing west towards Church Hill; there were three openings on the ground floor, which was rusticated, and there were two sash windows on the first floor. Full-height Doric order pilasters were installed at the corners and the roof was hipped and covered with slate. A woven coverlet maker, Gilbert Hannan, founded a grammar school for twelve poor boys in the assembly room in 1672, and the building was converted for municipal use as the local town hall in 1760. The assembly room was originally accessed using a stone staircase inside the building but, in the early 1840s, extensive restoration work was carried out at the expense of the local member of parliament, John Abel Smith. A new external staircase with wrought iron railings was installed on the north side of the building and a lock-up with two cells for petty criminals was established in the building. Following completion of the works, magistrates' court hearings, which had been held in the Angel Inn in North Street, were relocated to the assembly room in the town hall in April 1848. The village stocks, placed outside the front of the town hall, continued to be used until January 1859, when a labourer who had defaulted on his debts, Henry Elldridge, became the last person to be sentenced to this form of punishment in the town. The ground floor was converted for use as storage for the horse-drawn fire engine and a fire bell was installed on the front of the building just below the eaves in 1865. The borough council, which had not met for many years, was abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883. After extensive investigations to confirm the existing ownership of the property, the building was conveyed to a new charitable body, the Midhurst Town Trust, in February 1910. The fire service continued to occupy the ground floor until 1955, when the service relocated to a new fire station at The Wharf. The ground floor was then converted for use as an antiques centre, the Eagle House Antiques Market, in the 1960s, and, following a major refurbishment in 2010, the ground floor re-opened again as Garton's Coffee Shop.

St Peter's Church, Combwich

St Peter's Church is a Church of England church in Combwich, Somerset, England. The church, which was designed by Charles Knowles, was built in 1867–70 and has been a Grade II listed building since 1985. History St Peter's was built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of All Saints, Otterhampton. It was erected largely at the expense of Mrs. Susanna Jeffery, the widow of Rev. Dr. John Jeffery, rector of Otterhampton, to serve both residents of the village and those living between Cannington and Otterhampton. Before his death in 1861, Rev. Jeffery had expressed wish for a church to be erected to serve the village and he bequeathed £1,500 towards such a building on the condition that an additional £500 be raised within a specified time. Although the bequest had lapsed by the time the additional money was raised, Mrs. Jeffery, who had received the £1,500, chose to donate it back to the cause. Plans for the church were drawn up by Mr. Charles Knowles of Bridgwater and a plot of land acquired from an orchard belonging to Mr. Lee. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs. John Evered, daughter of Rev. Jeffery, on 23 July 1867 and the church built by Mr. Abraham Squibbs of Bridgwater. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey, on 24 October 1870. In 1873, Mrs. Jeffery presented the church with five bells, made by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. A lectern of carved oak, walnut and pitch pine, was presented to the church in 1886, designed and created by Rev. Charles G. Anderson, the rector of Otterhampton, in memory of his uncle Rev. Edward Poole, vicar of Alvaston and Boulton, who died two years earlier. The parish of Otterhampton was united with Stockland in 1971 and went on to form part of the united benefice of Cannington, Otterhampton, Combwich, and Stockland from 1984. When All Saints at Otterhampton was declared redundant in 1988, St Peter's became the parish church. Architecture St Peter's is built of Blue Lias rubble, with red sandstone banding and tile roofs, in the Perpendicular style. It was built to accommodate 240 persons and is made up of a three-bay nave with one-bay north and south transepts, an apsidal chancel with vestry, and a tower, containing the south porch and an octagonal belfry with spire. Much of the church's original 19th century fittings remain in place. A tablet under the west window records the church as being erected by Mrs. Jeffery "in honoured memory of her late husband, and to carry out his wishes for the spiritual good of the inhabitants of Combwich."

St Mary's Church, Wix

St Mary's Church is a Grade II listed Anglican parish church in the village of Wix, Essex, England. Formerly associated with a priory from the Middle Ages, the present church dates largely from the 18th century. Wix Priory The Priory of St Mary was a Benedictine nunnery founded in c. 1125 by brothers Walter Mascherell, Alexander de Wix and their sister Edith, who were the children of Walter the Deacon, who owned much of the area in the late 11th and early 12th centuries. The priory incorporated a church which had existed at the location since c. 1050. The priory was never large, containing only around ten nuns, but was still highly influential in the immediate vicinity. It owned large areas of land in Wix and much of the surrounding countryside. It held the status of a manor in its own right, and the tenants of its copyholds in Wix were obliged to perform manorial service. By the time of the Peasants' Revolt (1381), this was generating friction, and during the revolt, the priory was attacked by its angry villagers, who destroyed its manorial rolls which detailed their obligations to it. After the Revolt had ended, those responsible were evicted by the prioress, who then fined each one before allowing them to return. The priory remained in operation until the 16th century, though it became increasingly run down. In 1525, it was shut down by Thomas Wolsey, being one of 30 small religious houses which were closed to provide funding for The King's School, Ipswich, and the Oxford institution now known as Christ Church. After its closure, the priory was demolished, leaving only the church. The only remains of the priory which can still be seen are the now-blocked 13th-century arches which form the church's north wall. Later history The church was later restored and mostly rebuilt in 1744, then again in 1888, with much of the original limestone and rubble composition being replaced in brick. Listed status was granted in 1966. The church has a free-standing bell frame, which once contained three bells, though now has only one, dating from the 15th century. An attempt was made in 1975 to steal the bell, which resulted in the frame being replaced with a modern design. References

This remained as the vicarage until 1935 when it was sold by the Church due to the cost of maintenance. The church has a fine collection of stained-glass windows. In 1986, it was granted grade II listed status. Graveyard Christ Church had a graveyard, but by 1900 it was almost full.
