History of The New Inn
In 1464 the Abbot of Sibton conveyed to John Kempe the triangle of land in Peasenhall called The Knowle or Knoll, directly adjoining the King’s Highway. On it he built the hall-house which in 1478 was referred to as the New Inn. In the 16th and 17th centuries many alterations were made to the New Inn, the chief of which were the insertion of a floor into the great open space of the hall and the building of brick chimneys in the hall and Low End. Plastered ceilings hid the timbers of open roof spaces. Additions were made at the southern end, which included a shop. The property was divided between different owners, but part of it seems to have continued to be an inn at least until the 18th century. Thereafter further alteration and division disguised the medieval character of the building, but some memory of this lingered on, so that when the derelict cottages into which it had declined were acquired in the 1950s by Blyth Rural District Council, they took some trouble to find out more about them before the demolition that was meant to be their fate. What they discovered resulted in the transfer of the whole row of buildings to the Landmark Trust in 1971.
