The Countryman's Inn back in community hands with £230,000 award

The Countryman바카라 사이트™s Community Group in Hunton Village has now purchased their local pub with an allocation of £230,000 from the Community Ownership Fund.

The funding will also help the group improve the local pub, the Countryman바카라 사이트™s Inn. The funding supports £230,000 previously raised by the local community.

The rich history of The Countryman바카라 사이트™s Inn

The pub is a local landmark in Wensleydale. It dates back to at least 1849, when it first appears in public records. Originally called the Oddfellow바카라 사이트™s Arms, the name was changed in 1984. This was the same year that the pub was the location for the very first Hunton Steam Gathering.

A pub with many uses

The pub has long been a hub of community life. It was one of the first inns in the area to serve food, as well as ales.

It has also served as a B&B and hosts a variety of games for the local community, such as:

  • quoits competitions
  • quiz nights
  • dominoes
  • darts

The pub has also hosted the cast and crew of the TV programme 바카라 사이트˜All Creatures Great and Small바카라 사이트™.

Now that it바카라 사이트™s received funding from the Community Ownership Fund, The Countryman바카라 사이트™s Inn will remain at the heart of village life for years to come.
