This 750 year old ABANDONED Inn has everything left inside! 

This is my partners feed. Thank you guys for going there and posting your record. At least there is some photographic record of the Inn in its last throws which for me and many others is a very sad moment! I used to live opposite this pub and my family have all been connected to it. My dad was head chef in the sixties and I recognize areas of the kitchen and the servery leading into the Tudor ballroom used for dinner and dances and discos in the seventies. The original inn I believe was built in the thirteenth century and was the front bar nearest the road. Under that flooring board is stone flags from the original Mediaeval Inn. The builder ( I do not know his name) in the forties used reclaimed church and medieval building salvage as a result of the second world war to extend and build this mega-pub. It was frequented from people far and wide especially from London for dinner/dances and weekly discos etc.. The Round table were regular customers and held many events there. There was even a weekly Antique market held there during the eighties. I used to be the cloakroom attendant during the seventies! My sister was a waitress and my mother a bookkeeper. It would be lovely to see the Inn restored but otherwise the fixtures and timbers and stained glass should be going to museums or into research. Who knows what secrets they may hold?! Many timbers may have come from Tudor ships originally. Please get someone involved like National Heritage or National Trust at least to be part of the demolition which is obviously what the the developers want! Thank you

Such a shame it went under during Covid. We got married there nearly 6 years ago. Still drive past it all the time. Hopefully one day someone will take it on and refurbish it. Thanks for the vid Iv been dying to see inside for ages now

The placement of that window looking inwards means that is where the great hall would have been in the original Tudor building (the dining hall) it enabled the young females to discreetly watch the proceedings without having to come into contact with those dining! The stairs would never have been there!

Why? And why should it be ruined" like all UK old traditional property's ,in village's, towns,,city's etc or ehh made in to wine bars,, its absolutely terrible, beautiful property's as example"" old own halls with beautiful windows ,staircases, we see foreign videos about there delightful towns,city's property there history,,we say"" oh isn't beautiful "" We British knock them down,build a ugly square box type,or now,,industrialized shipping containers,,

That was a stunning place. I hope it gets restored and not turned into flats! Eddie makes me laugh 😂. This deserves another watch tonight. Thanks guys for another amazing and enjoyable explore.

I had my 18 birthday party there! Many years Thursday nights were for divorced in desperate for the older generation… I’ve just realised I’m now that age!!! It’s only been closed for the last few years… such a waste!!!

It was beautiful when I went there in the 70's. I used to help collect glasses Fridays and Saturdays. Saw some amazing bands. many memories.

RIdiculous stuff.. it was built in 1902 as a Mock Tudor Inn. 750 years old? do some research. The other Grasshopper in the town is much older but not that old.

That was a good find, but what a shame it's left like that to rott.

Wow! This looks like another great explore

The scallop shells in the stained glass represent 'palmers', a symbol used by those who'd been on crusade to the Levant or just pilgrimage out to the Holy Lands.

Great content as always. Keep up the good work. Thanks Alex. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

I'm left feeling so sad and angry that such an historic and beautiful building can be left to deteriorate to this degree. It is our history, our legacy that this be preserved. Our government should be helping the hospitality industry to survive. It is an essential part of our culture.

Love your channel, such a great team, you made me laugh out loud with the massive glory hole and the way they all ran up the stairs lol. What an amazing place. I’ll never understand how such a beautiful building can be just left x

Great find guys. I love watching Ed 'bazz' around with his enthusiasm. Back in Tudor times you paid taxes on your windows, the bigger the windows were the more tax you'd have to pay, hence most Tudor buildings were built with small windows.

Hopefully it gets refurbished, I’d love to visit it for a pint or 2 😎

Thank you for taking us pubbing Alex! That is still a beautiful place and the wood paneling looked amazing. Not much graffiti either which is nice. Stay safe and keep exploring.

Wow.. Awesome the original house /house's would have been gorgeous back in the day. I'll leave the black mould thanks.. 😅 Eddie is like a child at Christmas 😂.. Thank you for sharing. K

I love your videos. Stumbled across your channel and it is an absolute gem of a find. Like that you are English and film in England makes it more relatable. You are braisin and all have such great fun filming these videos and are very respectful to the places you visit. Apologies I am new to your channel so don't know everyone's name but the slightly more elderly gentleman is absolutely hilarious - he really makes me laugh every time. Keep this superb content coming !

What a beautiful place you found for the video today. The amount of stained glass is phenomenal. I've never seen an abandoned place with so much "real" leaded stained in one place. I wonder how old they are. A lot of the rooms are incredibly large, almost as if it was for an entire village for meeting or other reasons. I think looking at the inside of this building is much bigger that it looks like from the outside. The structures had many buildings and rooms added on over the centuries. At least the architecture was kept in place with the additional structures. This was a wonderfull adventure. Thank you all very much for this beautiful and incredible tour.

Truly amazing explore, so enjoyable to watch.

I would just like to say thank you everyone For Watching Alex's videos And for supporting him as he do Brilliant work on these videos Look forward to doing more for you all keep up the likes see you soon 🤙🤙

Thank u for the awesome video from Opelika Alabama USA

Watched it back a second time. Best wishes lads, from south Wales

Wow what a stunning villa have you popped over the channel to find such splendour?

That was an awesome find Alex So much history in that old building. The beautiful old oak beams in the ceiling and the tiny windows. It must have been quite luxurious when it was built back in the 13th century. All that damp and mould is ruining it now.

What an awesome building....Nice one lads 😁👌🏻

Such a nice place I hope they do it back up it would have been nice in it’s hey day. Another great explore from you guys. It’s nice to see Steve Ray and Ned exploring with you again. Ed is so funny when he jokes around. Regards Allan.

What a shame its been left like that. If only i was rich id buy and restore that pub. Its amazing . Why are they left like that its beyond me. I love that young guy. Very smart guy

Great video Alex 👍 love u guys working together u all make such a great team thanks for sharing 👍 take care 👍

Another cool find 😎 👌 waiting for the next one already!

Looks like this place won't be here much longer. Planning for a care home, means it will be demolished. It's sad we don't give a damn about our ancient past in any form😢

Awesome place - for once I can say that I’ve been there !! 🤩 Used to live nearby many years ago 😱 and it was the place to go on a Friday night! Always busy, full of character and charm and visited by lots of famous people as you noticed. Hope the building is quickly saved before further decay. Thanks so much for the video - good one 👍👍

Its an absolute disgrace that beautiful buliding with so much history has been left to roit. 😢

Looks amazing.

What a cracking little place, some lovely features in there, love the little black windows 😍 We were even treated to the musical delights of 2 become 1 from Ed, Yesterday from Alex and the grand finale of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from Ray ........what more could we ask of a truly outstanding cast 👏 🤩 Cheers guys, enjoyed that, see you all next week xx 😘💙

Parabéns um belo vídeo forte abraço a todos 🤩👍

Strange little man that Ray

I was telling “exploring within” all the discos I went to there in the late 70s It used to be a fabulous well kept building but now in a terrible state x

This was a unique please x

Hi can't wait 😊

I got married here at the end of November 2015. So sad to see this wonderful building in this state, but that said, after my wedding the building lasted longer than my marriage! 😂

Evening

This one was rich in life Alex.The people that started this place were deeper than we think.

That is gorgeous

I know that place well, use to have a car meeting there once a month in the 80’s….then go in for a roast dinner .

Wow Guys! I used to go this place in the late 80s. They used to have a hip hop night on a Thursday called The Road Block! As soon as I could drive at 17 we used always go to The Grasshopper! So sad! Cheers Guys!

That would be a fantastic business to reopen I know it would make a profit for sure!!!

Beautifully preserve, in some ways, this is one of my favorites.

It would be nice if they removed all the pipework and crap from the outside and brought it back to super SEXY . . Those window frames MASSIVE oak . . love it Nice job lads . . .Bathroom was a shocker though ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I reckon near the end that outside door was shut and Ed gnawed his way in . . .good job Ed That roof with the standing water . . OMG

you should make some calls try get that place saved and locked up tite

JUST MOVE IN GUYS, ITS A PART OF ENGLAND AND ITS ALL YOURS.

What a shame that’s been trashed now when I went none of the drinks on the bar had been touched none of the windows had metal on I’m guessing the tour bus has now been

Thats are history there left like that . Makes me quite sad

It's got a very similar look to Smithills Hall in Bolton which was built in the 1300's! It is a beautiful Grade I listed building in a little better condition than this one though. I wish council's wouldn't let buildings like this rot....when they are gone, that's it!

That place is beautiful, I enjoyed every minute of your video

What a fabulous place and I hope that it doesn't get trashed and those gorgeous stained glass windows get broken. So sad to see it in this state neglected and forgotten.What a shame you couldn't get into the bedrooms. Great explore with the gang thanks Alex xx

It looks like building control might have stopped the revamp because of damage done to the listed fittings when they tried to make access from the old part of the building to where the frame work of the new extension was.

Beautiful building love the original period features . My type of pub . :) it’s seems to go on and on : Didn’t realise Eddie dabbled in Am Dram ? ;) love the mixture of banter / giggles amongst you lads and historical and social commentary . I do think at the end of this year we need to have a chart of the best and worst toilets and bathrooms ;) this old pub is making me miss my old flat attached to an old pub :( brilliant explore as always but bitter sweet .

Have a Beer on Anthony 👍

You can see those windows are original. Amazing place such a same. ❤

I would live in there

This is near me it closed in 2019 for renovation it dates back to 1271 and there has been a proposal put forward in September to demolish and put a 64 bed care home in its place absolutely disgusting how can they let this happen 😢

I know this place very well! Often popped in here for a drink between 2004 - 2009 when I was staying in the area working. Was a lovely place for a pint or two and chat with locals, such a shame to see it in this state. Can remember it been quite a popular place for weekend classic car meets due to size of the car park, often you would see many fine examples of 50+ year old motors parked up.

Good explore that could of been better if some of the “guys”were a little bit quieter a joke and a laugh is one thing but the stupid noises that spoiled it I more or less watched it with the volume off so missed your commentary so ended up starting it a had to put up with them. It doesn’t help with empty buildings and wooden floors. Roll on the next visit somewhere.

Love the inn, but didn’t care for the guy standing on the furniture very disrespectful. That was unexpected on your RU-vid

Terrible things to lose, a countries history and identity. It sure bothers me here in the US. When things are built and torn down 20 years later. What a waste of manpower and natural recourses. Even more of a heartbreaker when built in the 1200s-1300s. DO BETTER PEOPLE! PRESERVE AND PROTECT HISTORICAL PLACES!

Cheers guys

Found the name of the place in the video 😅, half the building is missing and the steel frame is the replacement I'm guessing they ran out of money or into problems

What an amazing treasure. Love your videos, and thanks for doing what you do

Thank you for posting such interesting vids. Love watching you 2 lads exploring. ❤

What a beautiful place, something interesting every second. The humour from you guys always creases me up, such great entertainment! Love ya!

That place was amazing and has a lot of history with it. Thank you for a wonderful video. Love your humor 😄. Keep up the good work

Love the guy playing “Yesterday,” “ Jingle Bells” and maybe “Dueling Banjos” on the piano?

What a place, such a crying shame to see it deteriorating like it is. They should at least salvage the historic fixtures and fittings. Really enjoyable video yet again. Pompey should audition for the pantomime dame 😂

The shell means that the Lord or Sir survived St. James Way to Santiago de Compostela but if he did it by the English Way is the shortest at most 3 days, but if he did it as King Edward Longshanks I from Aquitaine it would take 30 days the least. he would have gone through St. John de Pied de Port. 35 days. march speed.

Have a Beer

228th! EDDY MAKES ME LAUGH! It’s fascinating to see these buildings and their contents. Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA

Loved watching you guys film this old building, I would have lived to have gone through those old books ❤

Love the guy playing “Yesterday,” “ Jingle Bells” and maybe “Dueling Banjos” on the piano? I love love love all things colonial!

The escallop shell is a traditional symbol for baptism. The three drops of water coming off the shell remind us that we are baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19; LSB, p. 270) Water flows generously from the shell, to drown the old Adam. The red streaks in the water remind us of the blood of Christ Jesus, shed for us to wash us clean and bring us newness of life. Gold is metallic yellow and related to prestige/ high status/wealth. Gold is the colour and metal given to winners.

Seems like everybody has an Uncle Albert. This time next year, we'll be millionaires...

That place still has potential 👍

Have drinks,coffee, fish and chips, pastries.,hot dogs,hamburgers, french fries and ice cream. No complicated menu.

Beautiful video and exploration. I recently explored an inn situated in the Kent area. Incredible sites in this great county. Thumbs up for the upload. T

It looks an Olde Building could be that Old. Pub in Village next to ours in Barnsley has a Pub built 1045 AD originally a water mill built by Monk Bretton Monks

That camera movement is making me dizzy. Can’t finish watching it.😮

Yes I can just imagine Paddy Pants down staying there back in the day with his hareem of secretaries lol. He probably had the executive suite. The queen rooms they charged per head.

What a terrible waste. That building has been there for 750 years! And now people are just going to let it rot away!? Hell atleast let the good architectural piece be reclaimed for something else.

Buy that, invest $5M make bed and breakfast Inn & Tavern; for the locals and tourist. Imagine the stories that went through there.

OI! YOU GOT YOUR EXPLORERS LOY-SENSE INNIT? LOL- some guy from the USA

It such a crying shame to see such beautiful buildings left to rot away..

Ive been told that this beautiful building has now been demolished (to build 64bed nursing home) I cant understand if this is true how the authorities allowed this to happen and not save/ preserve the history... Is anyone albe to confirm?

I drove past this place this evening. Its blocked of more. Looks like it will be demolished. Shame!😢

This is the pub called The Grasshopper in Brasted on the A25 in Surrey I have been having a meal with wifee and friends and also on my friends weeding reception event. very nice. but sad to see this.

You guys seem to be very unprofessional. I'm sorry but you dig through people's things and you never take the time to show your audience the houses you go in . Seems like you just clumsily run through giggling and shuffleing through

A few well known names on that plaque Will Carling Jimmy Greaves And Paddy Pantsdown 🤣 what a place apart from the bathrooms they did look naff in a place this wonderful. Loving the roof tiles aswell at your own risk mind 🤣

I absolutely love this video! One of your best videos! I do wish you would wear a mask when there is mold!

I'm sure I left a comment but's not here, and not the first time it's happened. Anyway fun video thank you Alex 💖

Amazing old building ! You bring to many people with you,half the video is with nonsense.
