The Bell Inn, Aldworth

The Bell

The Bell is a Grade II listed public house at Aldworth, Berkshire RG8 9SE.[1] It is said to have been a manor house before it became a pub.

It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[2]

It was built in the 15th century or possibly earlier, with C17 and C19 alterations and a C20 addition.[1] It has been in the same family continuously since the 18th century. It has no bar fittings at all save for handpumps - lager is only available in bottles.

In 1990, it won CAMRA's National Pub of the Year.
