Grade II Listed as "The Spinning Wheel" it is probably 17th century with 18th century alterations and modern shop fronts. The Spinning Wheel was still here in 1997 but by 2004 it appears to have been 'Hidden Treasures'. In 2009 it was closed and for rent with signage for Nonsuch books music and gifts. Change of use was approved to restaurant/cafe in October 2010 and by April 2011 it was named Mulberries Tea Rooms. 2014, with the same logo, it became Smiths of Bourton. The current sign claims it to be established in 2014 but on their website Smiths claim to have been established in 2020 (probably when the logo/signage changed). Smiths Of Bourton Ltd was incorporated on 24th June 2014 and dissolved via voluntary strike-off 20th February 2018.
