| Just
off the Fosse Way, in Long itchington, The Buck & Bell
has existed since the mid 17th century.
Originally
owned by local families, first the Hoppers and then the Chaters,
it closed in the early 80’s, it is now in the private
ownership of a small company dedicated to preserving all that
is best in country inns.
It
is situated on the green, opposite the village pond, and is
a masterpiece of renovation, a testament to all that is best
in conservation. Wherever possible the original structure
has been preserved, and improvements have been carried out
sympathetically using reclaimed materials and features.
