The Plough Inn on New Street
Until 1927 The Plough was an Inn. A brief history can be found HERE
This picture of its cellar shows the 15th c. stone vaulting springing up from angle shafts with moulded capitals and bases. It also shows rubble from exploratory work to verify the old legend that there was a tunnel connected to the Castle. Nothing was found! For this and more |
