News  »  Ancient Shepherds no longer for sale

The Parish Council received notification over the weekend that the Ancient Shepherds pub is being removed from the market as the freeholder and Punch Taverns have decided to retain it within their estate as a licensed outlet. This decision was largely due to the early success of the new tenants but also to the fact that it had been registered as an Asset of Community Value. It is welcome news as it removes the uncertainty as to the future of this pub in the village.
