This Pub is Closed Long Term

Closed - future uncertain.

Close to the A14 (Beyton junction) but off the beaten track, in the centre of this pretty village & opposite the Norman church, the heavily timbered Bells is a cosy pub. Two bars either side of the entrance lobby have log fires in large fireplaces. The massive Tudor brick post holding the sign above the entrance is said to be all that remains of the entry to a long demolished stately home. A record of landlords back to 1753 is framed in the bar.

Not only is the pub itself a Listed Building; the pub sign is also Grade II Listed. The building was constructed in several phases in the 16th & 17th centuries.

Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal** on Jan-25 in1896 when Henry Hubbard was the landlord states that : "Walter Manning was accused of stealing straw, stover (corn stalks) & chaff (corn husks) for the stable he used at the Five Bells. Found guilty he was sentenced to 10 days hard labour." Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/401
