This fine hostelry is actually the home of Stilton cheese - - thanks to Cooper Thornhill, who was landlord at The Bell Inn from 1730 to 1759, and who originally served this delicious crumbly 'blue' cheese to his customers.

This adorable little thatched cottage from the small Leicestershire village of Peatling Parva has graced its surroundings since the early seventeenth century, which perhaps explains the way in which it has such an air of 'comfortableness' about it, for it has certainly earned the right to belong here over the last four hundred years!

Our delightful Bell Tower Cottage is situated in the pretty village of Brancepeth, which started out as a small group of cottages and church built to serve the estate workers of the castle. The name of Brancepeth refers to the wild boar known as 'brawn' that roamed freely in those ancient times.
Built of coursed sandstone rubble and ashlar, which was used for the dressings as well as the magnificent Tudoresque tall chimneystacks, this idyllic dwelling used to be anything but peaceful - as it used to be a schoolhouse with its very own schoolmaster's house attached too!
It was built in the mid nineteenth century and its bell rang out to beckon the village's children to school right up until the mid twentieth century when it was converted into three private dwellings
