Bramling

All above pictures by Paul Skelton 25 July 2009.

The landlord has just found some deeds that say the pub was built in 1801. Originally called the "Volunteer" I am unsure as to when it changed name and for what reason, although it was certainly after 1950. It has been suggested that with another "Volunteer" just along the road at Ash, the pubs were being confused with each other, hence the name change.

It had been mentioned that Malcolm Butcher's wife was tragically killed in a road accident on the main road outside the pub in 1978.

The above is a painting that hangs on the wall inside the pub. Above photograph is an air-shot of the pub and grounds.
