The Old Chapel Inn - Bigbury Aug 2011

[Janey68]

I have no information regarding this property except the fact it has a planning permission on it for 3 cottages in the grounds and one house. It is a Grade 2 listed building and i love it!!!!!

There is also planning permission for it to be turned into a Gastro Pub.

Anyway, if I had the money it would be staying as it is with much renovating obviously. It has a chapel in the middle of it which is strange but very interesting. Sadly I wasnt able to get in.

On with the pictures.

The courtyard

This is the Chapel so i believe

I know. I fell in love with it at least 3 years ago. I was goingto ring the estate agent but hubbie wouldn't play along.......

Oh come on now! You could have free climbed up to the roof and then abseiled down inside the chimney! You light weight!!!

PS... I've just been and bought some rope ascenders and a figure 8 abseil loop...

Then you need to practise the skills that American Special Forces colonel was investigating... the basic premise is that seeing as all matter is 99.9999999% nothing you can therefore walk through walls...

Couldn't get in??? Pffft!!! I see a letterbox in the first photo

Seriously though, nice photos and a beautiful building

Oh, that's lovely. Great courtyard...love the funky inglenook type entrance. Any idea when it was built, Janey? It looks really old.

It’s easy to see why you’d want to save this lovely old pub Janey, I enjoyed looking, Thanks.

TJ, if you are going to use a fig 8 insure you have a decent harness and carabiner to clip it onto, a stitch plate wouldn’t go amiss either

 

[Janey68]

Foxy I can't find anything on it and believe me I've tried. As for the letterbox...........interesting but wouldn't get in lol. If it's still like this next year, I will be going in
