SP0218 : The Frogmill Inn - Garden and water-wheel

taken 9 years ago, near to Shipton, Gloucestershire, England

The Frogmill Inn - Garden and water-wheel
The Frogmill Inn - Garden and water-wheel
Unfortunately the waterwheel seen ahead is not original to this former mill that is now an inn, but is an attractive feature of the gardens and ponds on this side of the inn. The River Coln which flows beside the inn would originally have provided the water to drive a more substantial waterwheel to operate the milling machinery, which is long gone, as this building has been an inn for many years.
See shared description below:
Frogmill Inn

The Frogmill Inn is situated beside the A436 near to its junction with the A40. The oldest parts date back to the C17th, but there were alterations and extensions over the next three centuries. It is on a site mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is EH Grade II listed LinkExternal link
The Inn has a public bar and restaurant and a number of bedrooms. It has quite recently been taken over by Marco Pierre White's "Wheelers of St James" company and is being gradually refurbished - good news as it was closed for a while some years ago.
[Update June 2016] The Frogmill is currently closed again. Marco Pierre White sold the property for £1.3m in December 2015 and it does not seem to have opened again since. See LinkExternal link and refer to the inn's website LinkExternal link for the latest information.
