An inn with a long memory
The Catherine Wheel has stood on Marshfield’s High Street for more than three centuries.
Three centuries on the High Street
A new front for an older house
The facade and front rooms we still use today were built in 1680, as an addition to a house already many years older.
The coaching inn
By 1740 the building had become a coaching inn, though the precise date is unknown. It went by a different name then: The Star.
The Star becomes The Catherine Wheel
In the 1780s the inn took the name it has carried ever since.
A 21st birthday party
We marked 21 years with a bank holiday party of BBQ burgers, live music and DJ Liam. What an amazing party we had.
Still open, still feeding people
A free house with food and rooms, real ales, a monthly music night and a warm welcome for dogs.
Marshfield
A historic conservation village and a thriving community, close to where Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset meet.
It stands at the southern gateway to the Cotswold hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, eight miles from the Roman city of Bath. It’s also home to the world-famous Marshfield Mummers, who finish their Boxing Day plays right outside our door.
