The Bell Inn, Purton Stoke, Swindon, Wiltshire
The Bell Inn, Purton Stoke, Swindon, Wiltshire, dispenses Real Ales. The Bell Inn has a Beer Garden.
There are some villages in Britain where people are forever "passing through" and Purton Stoke is one of them. It is almost exactly half way along the road that runs from Purton to Cricklade and The Bell is right beside that road, ready to tempt passing travellers with the promise of good beer, good food and a friendly welcome. However, The Bell, which has been a fully-licensed inn for more than 150 years, has not always been such a relaxing refuge. In 1844 the licensee was prosecuted for keeping a disorderly house, but at some later stage the Rev. T. B. Carter became the owner and the good reverend entrusted the lease to Arkell's in 1908 and sold the freehold in 1926. A complete renovation was undertaken in 1969 which transformed the pub's dour exterior into the rather handsome look that it has today, and 1998 has seen a new landlord and landlady who are determined to maintain The Bell's cheerful disposition. The Bell is a modest little pub but has a character all of its own - more than enough of an excuse to stop off for a quiet drink or a bite to eat.
