History of The Plough

The Plough at Kings Walden has been serving beer from its two-acre plot since at least 1846. This Asset of Community Value (ACV) was formerly an ale house with jugs of beer being walked up from the cellar kitchen via a set of steps you can still use when you visit the toilets today. The pub was once called Godlett’s Hall but the reasons why, are lost in time - perhaps a landlord was once called Mr Godlett and the property, which is grade II listed, could have been a traditional ‘hall house’ i.e. a one room house with a fire in the middle and a hole in the roof for smoke to escape. The pub has been run by numerous Landlords but most details are lost in the sands of time. Let us know if you can provide any updates to the list below:
