The Bertie Arms, 10 Hall Lane, Branston
Grade II Listed former early 18th century inn. The former thatched Bertie Arms, converted by William Cucksey, was a home and dairy from 1912 until 1940. The pub was named after Lord Vere Bertie who built the Branston Hall that was destroyed by fire in 1904. The plaque reads 'IN THIS HOUSE FORMERLY AN INN KNOWN AS "THE BERTIE ARMS" WAS HELD ON THE 26TH MAY 1765 THE INAUGURAL MEETING TO INSTITUTE THE ENCLOSURE OF THE PARISH LANDS OF BRANSTON'. (In the years between 1760 and 1820 there was wholesale enclosure in which, in village after village, common rights were lost, described by E P Thompson as 'a plain enough case of class robbery'.) Felicia Richardson, one of the current (2020) owners has told me that they purchased it in 1986 and have subsequently renovated the interior which has mud and stud walls, two Inglenook fireplaces and very old oak beams. Felicia also informs me it was very briefly known as Berties Inn named by people who owned it for a few months prior to them.
