• Brief History of the Corner Cupboard in Winchcombe

The Corner Cupboard Inn was built in c.1550 as a farmhouse and it subsequently became an Inn. There are reports of The Inn being haunted by the ghost of a 12 year old girl visitors have heard running across the Floor Boards above the Bar.

At the front of the Inn is a protruding buttress and a bust of Benjamin Disraeli (Victorian Prime Minister and statesman from 1847 until his death in 1881) above the front door.

In Saxon times Winchcombe was the most important town in the Cotswold region, a part of the kingdom of Mercia. The right to mint coins is a measure of the economic and administrative importance of a town, and in Saxon times there were mints in Gloucester, Bristol, Berkeley and Winchcombe.

Whether you are looking for a meal, or a pint of real ale, the Corner Cupboard Inn which is under the new management of Jason Hobbs, has retained all the characteristic and warmth of the Original Inn, located in the historic town of Winchcombe and close to Sudeley Castle, with its award winning gardens and an ideal base for walking in the Cotswold's.
