Owned by BMJ International Limited, the historic 18th-century building has been closed since 2007, leaving locals frustrated by its long-standing neglect. Villagers describe the former coaching inn as a “shambles,” with unsightly plastic wrappings around the chimneys symbolizing years of abandonment. Situated at the southern entrance to Newnham’s High Street, the Grade II-listed hotel is considered a vital part of the village’s heritage, and residents are eager to see it restored to its former glory.
