What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The George. This Grade II Public House of square coursed lias had a licence first granted in 1766. In 1778 local landowners met here to discuss the enclosure of open land. Charles Wells Brewery planned to close it in 1976 but a public petition convinced them to change their minds an extend it while demolishing the stables. A conservatory was added in the late 1990's. Recorded plaque organisation: Brixworth Heritage Trail.
The George, granted its first licence in 1766, served as a significant meeting place for local landowners discussing the enclosure of open fields in 1778 and later became a symbol of community resilience when locals successfully petitioned to save it from closure in 1976.
