The pub, situated between Trowbridge and Melksham, closed its doors in 2023 and was placed on the market for £395,000, sparking fears that the village would lose its cherished community hub forever. The Prince’s unexpected financial support offers a vital boost to the campaign aiming to rescue the establishment.
