The Old Inn has now been converted to
residential property. |

This place has great affection and fond
memoriesto
our family. My
grandfather Frank Baker and grandmother Bess (nee Hartnell) had the
pub and its home, following WW1 and through the period of WW2 and beyond.
I lived there following my birth in Malmesbury until I was nearly 4 years
old. The famous Dr Hodge loved to come and see me and I am sure gramp gave
him a quick Noggin or two. The deep pond at the front entrance was filled
in so that I did not.
The family stories would make today's folk
cringe. My mother Peggy Baker had her wedding reception at the Old Inn.

1956 |
Between Sept and Dec 1956 I lodged here. I was a student
and was working at A B Blanch Ltd, Crudwell. The landlord was a Joe
Weide.The local Fox hounds sometime met in the yard in front of the pub.
It was a typical 1950s village pub - no food served except sandwiches &
crisps. |
