Our story

We saved our pub! Longparish is proud to have rescued our historic pub from the hands of a property developer. Since 1721 villagers have been welcomed to The Plough, but without immense community support it would recently have become a building site and forever lost as a local village pub and hub.

Luckily, Longparish is full of wonderful people willing to give up their time and energy to buying, renovating and re-opening The Plough. Hundreds of supporters both in the village and further afield bought shares, and Longparish Parish Council took out a government loan to support the project.  

By February 2021 the pub belonged to the village. After months of hard work, and three hundred years after it first began trading, The Plough Inn is once again at the heart of the Longparish community.

We hope you will come and visit us whenever you are near Longparish!
