The Calveley Arms dates back to the late 1500’s and was built as a Coaching Inn by Sir Hugh Calveley a local knight. The Calveley is thought to be haunted by a Cavalier which the locals have called George. Update 18/12/20: The Calveley Arms closed in March 2018. The building is unlisted and plans have now been approved to convert it into a five bedroomed house. The parish council highlighted that the conversion would bring about the loss a village amenity with the building being established as a pub/inn since 1645.
