The Battleaxes pub in Wraxall was the last one left serving in the village until Covid hit. Having closed under lockdown, the owners went into administration and so the boards are out. Plans are being contended for converting the pub into private dwellings, but locals have protested in force. Quite what will happen is up in the air presently, but anyone with around £1 million are invited to call by.

The Battleaxes pub in Wraxall
Built by local landowners the Gibbs family, for the benefit of the people of the village - a lot of whom worked for his lordship. It was originally called the Chequers Inn. The pub has had a chequered history of late and is currently up for sale. See Image] for a benchmark on the corner.

Back of the Battleaxes
Facing south is the rear of the pub. It was the gift to the village by Matilda Blanche Gibbs, widow of wealthy local merchant William Gibbs, in 1881. She opened it as a temperance house called the Chequers Inn. It later became the Widdecombe Inn before a more recent name-change.

The disappearance of a Wraxall Phonebox
I know people moan that they can never find a phone box but I gather that this phonebox on the B3130 hasn't been used much lately.
