Five Bells painting

Above painting artist and date unknown.

 

First mentioned in 1420 and was known as Waterslip House. One Thomas Weller, who gave his name to Wellers Town, which consists of two rows of cottages about a mile away, bought the inn in 1712. Weller and his brother started the inn in about 1730 calling it The "Five Bells." The name changed to the "Castle Inn" some time before 1779.
