The Queens Head
High Street,
Box, Corsham, Wilts
SN13 |
Opening Days and Times: |
The Queens Head, on
the A4 London to Bath road, was originally a C17th coaching inn. And,
back then, it was also the local butchers. Next to the car park is a Blind House and Wiltshire is the only county with them. Their history is a little obscure but their purpose wasn't. They were lock-ups for troublemakers and drunks. Luckily, we haven't had to use ours for some time. In 1841 Isambard Kingdom Brunel came to Box and built his magnificent tunnel. At nearly 2 miles long it was a feat of modern engineering. High speed trains still pass through the tunnel but when it was originally opened people refused to use it as they thought they would suffocate. It was also the inspiration for Rev W. Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, who lived close to the tunnel. Under Box Hill there are extensive freestone mines. Originally mined by the Romans, the Roman Baths in Bath are made using stone from Box quarry, the quarries were still being worked until the 1960's. The majority of buildings in Bath were built using stone quarried in Box. And, since then, it has been known as Bath Stone. It was also shipped as far afield as Canada where it was used to build the Parliament buildings. The church, dedicated to St. Thomas à Becket, was built in C14th. And in the graveyard there's an unusual pyramid shaped tombstone. Known locally as the Pinnacle Stone, it was built so the wife of the man buried there couldn't dance on his grave. There is also a pilgrims' chapel at nearby Chapel Plaister whose most notorious resident was highwayman, John Poulter. He used to shelter in the chapel but was often found loading his pistols in the nearby pub. He was executed at Salisbury - the last man to be hanged in Wiltshire |

The Royal Oak |
Open Hours: |
At the center of the historic
village of Corsham in Wiltshire stands the Royal Oak bed &
breakfast and public house, taking its name in 1899. The
Royal Oak is the name given to the oak tree within which
King Charles II of England hid to escape the Roundheads
following the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The pub and bed & breakfast has benefited from an extensive refurbishment by Wadworths, the Devizes based brewery who maintain the Oak. The downstairs delivers two bar areas, both with traditional wooden floors, the lounge bar boasts a large real fire, offering escape from the cold on those winter days. Licensee Maggie Evans and her husband Dave have delivered upon a personal mission to open the pub and its facilities to families and the community in general. Corsham and Wiltshire are popular tourist attractions and the Oak provides an ideal resting place for coffee or a lunch time snack Surprisingly for a high street Inn the Royal Oak has a large parking area behind the pub. Whether visiting Stone Henge or Bowood Country House the Oak is centrally placed as a bed and breakfast to spend your nights prior to your adventures in Wiltshire the next day. |
