| Cherry Tree Inn 73 Cumberland Street Woodbridge Suffolk IP12 4AG Tel./Fax: 01394 384627 Email: info@thecherrytreepub.co.uk |
| The Cherry Tree Inn was built during the Seventeenth Century, and is the last of six Public Houses and Inns originally situated in Cumberland Street. It allegedly gained its name from a large Cherry Tree that existed at the entrance to what is now Cherry Tree Road. During the 1860’s one of the landlords was Robert Page and later well known landlords include Walter Banyard (1896) and Walter Berry (1925). Robert Page was notable for brewing and selling his own beer on his own premises. This was rare in the 1860’s since many landlords had opted to buy their own beer from an established brewery or were tenants of “tied” houses anyway. The Inn has lots of character and is now a Listed building. All the beams are original, with some near the large open fire showing signs of originally being ships timbers. Others are beautifully carved. Around the walls are numerous pictures that provide a glimpse into the past. Friendly Ghosts add to the ambience of the place. The ghosts are believed to be two heavy drinking Cavaliers who used to inhabit a Monastery across the road. (Their only bad habits are late night drinks at the bar). So famous were they that many Americans would visit the Inn to see if they could experience the phenomenon. With a large garden and children’s play area the Inn remains as friendly and welcoming now as it was when first built. |
