The Festive Season

house as a going

experiences, to make Wickham Market a better place to live


and to combat loneliness and isolation by bringing all walks of life together in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere. Development

planning permission in place, reconstruction work is expected to commence in 2022 with ‘the first pints being pulled’ in mid- 2023. The project will restore the


George Inn, latterly the only pub in Wickham Market (a community of some 2,300 people), which, without it, has no viable commercial future. Once restored, a sustainable community pub business will bring economic benefits to Wickham, and create local jobs. The George will be ‘more than a pub’ – during reconstruction works an ambitious programme of heritage

establishments served


not just as social meeting places,

times, venues for auctions of properties, farm produce and goods; places


points for goods, where rents


were paid, debts were settled, inquests held and where wills were executed; collection and delivery

Yarmouth and London and to the London markets), as ‘lost property offices; meeting places for local administration and public groups; and, as ‘recruitment

workers and servants (see the


Society’s website http://


www.wmgeorge.co.uk/history/ history-bygones/ for stories of The George’s past). A number of these roles continued into the living memories of the village’s older residents.

When The George burnt down in April 2013, it became clear that Wickham Market was in danger of losing not only an historic building (Grade II listed and, after the fire, placed on the Suffolk


Historic Buildings at


Risk Register) but also its last trading public house. Just over

Up until the fire, The George had been a public house, for, at least, 360 years. Indeed, the fire revealed that the building, thought to date to the 18th century, in fact had its origins in the late 15th or early 16th century and, from structural evidence, may even have been purpose-built as an inn then. Surveys established that major parts of the historic structure could be conserved and restored and, so, its demolition was strongly resisted not only by the community but also by local council Conservation and Planning Officers. Commenting on the award, Society Chairman, Bill Wolfe- Evans, who lives less than 30 metres from The George, said: “By George we did it! On behalf of shareholders and supporters we are absolutely thrilled and extremely grateful to have received support from National Lottery players. For centuries


The George Inn


has served Wickham Market and it was almost lost forever following the fire. Thanks to our community’s generosity, that of previous funders who have recognised and shared our vision, and now the National Lottery Heritage Fund we can now look forward to restoring this


wonderful building future generations.” for
