At the time, one villager replied: “So sad to see the pub close. I've been enjoying their hospitality all my life. Well done Francis and Pete for keeping it open until now. Let’s hope someone takes it on.”
The pub, currently sitting empty and stripped of most of its interior, has been put back on the market.
The pub’s owners, The Wellington Pub Company, is searching for a new landlord or landlady to take over the site.
