Walton House (Feb 2014). Later to become the Bell Inn. Photograph by Mark Heath

Originally the Blue Bell pub (later the Bell Inn) - now Walton House. In 1925, the house finally ceased to be pub and became a shop – first a drapers and subsequently a grocers and general store, passing through the hands of a long series of owners. By 1966, it was being described as “Waltons Stores” and by 1977 as “Stores and Post Office” (shown in the photo).
