More about this scene
Ye Olde Bell was described in the 18th century as a 'gentleman-like, comfortable house'; it has some fine rooms, including this one with panelling and a Jacobean-style plaster ceiling, all Victorian. I remember it being a Sunday afternoon treat in the 1950s to be taken here for tea by my grandfather, riding out from Gainsborough in his Ford V-8 Pilot. After tea my brother and I used to be sent out into the gardens to play, while the grown-ups lingered over their tea cups.
