The Coach House and The Blisland Inn, Blisland

Grade II Listed Coach House has an 1869 datestone and has been converted to holiday cottages. The granite trough has been re-sited. The mid 19th century Blisland Inn is a former winner of the CAMRA National Pub of the Year. Documents of 1816 describes a meeting at the public house at Blisland Church Town, so it would seem reasonable to suppose this building was then the inn. The Ordnance Survey Map of 1880 shows the building adjacent to Church Town operating as the Blisland Inn. The public house which had changed its name to Ye Royal Oak Inn was described in Kelly’s Directory of 1910 as ‘good accommodation for cyclists and anglers’. Churchtown Cottage a Grade II Listed building is partly in view on the right.
