The George Inn: A Newnham Legacy

The George Inn: A Newnham Legacy

The George Inn in Newnham boasts a rich history dating back to the 16th century.

Its story begins not as a pub, but as a humble farm building.


By 1718:

The George Inn had transitioned into the local watering hole we know today. There's a charming rumor that James Pimm, the inventor of the famous Pimm's fruit cup, hailed from Newnham.

While it's unclear if the recipe itself was concocted within the pub's walls, the association adds a touch of whimsy to The George Inn's legacy.

A Legacy Named for a King?

While the pub's exact namesake remains unconfirmed, it's highly likely The George Inn was named after King George I who reigned from 1714 to 1727.

This was a common practice during the era, with pubs across England raising a glass to the monarch by adopting his name.

The George Inn stands today as a testament to its enduring presence in the heart of Newnham.

Whether you're a local resident or just passing through, step inside and experience a piece of history with a pint in hand.
