The Hollybush

HISTORY: The Hollybush Inn was built in 1675, probably as a dwelling, but possibly originally serving as a house incorporating a beerhouse. Early beerhouses were generally simple domestic dwellings with an area set aside for customers to sit or stand, and be served with beer or ale kept elsewhere in the building. A drinking establishment, or possibly an inn, would have suited the building's location, on the western approach road into Seighford from the nearest major town, Stafford.
