Asset of Community Value

17th century timber-framed and thatched village pub still selling 'beer from the wood'. The main bar has a parquet floor, old panelled counter that could be from the 1930s, the bar back shelves date from c.1970 and below is a stillage with 5 wooden casks of Wadworths 6X and Henrys with in cask cooling. There is a large old stone and brick fireplace and the fitted seating could be dated c.1930. Attached to one piece of seating are timber uprights which create a small separate room/area with carpet and the door from the car park. This area/room was apparently created in c.1957 being formerly a cellar. There is another small dining (?) room at the rear with modern dado panelling. Not enough.

Active Campaign

Pub owner Wadworth brewery put the pub up for sale. Wiltshire villagers have come together to buy the pub, which is registered as an Asset of Community Value, and a moratorium period has been started. A survey of village residents has demonstrated overwhelming support for the proposal. Friends of The Ivy (a Community Benefit Society) are progressing with a detailed business plan, raising awareness and fundraising.

See the group's website and Facebook page for more details.
