The Talbot Inn
Originally known as the Abbott's Hall, the Talbot dates back to 1360AD.
It is thought to have been the Almoner's House, a Hostel for Travellers and Centre for Almsgiving. It has been
an Inn ever since.
The Talbot is situated in the centre of the historic High Street, Much Wenlock originally
known as Spittle Street. The home of the late William Penny Brookes, who created the Olympic movement and is
Much Wenlock's most famous son is just a few doors away. The Inn is approached through an Archway where you
can see the delightful Courtyard. It was used to shoot scenes with Jennifer Jones for the 1949 file "Gone
to Earth" an adaptation of Mary Webb's novel.
