Description
The Lemon Arms and the village pump on Lemon Hill in Mylor Bridge in Cornwall.
There has been a Inn on this site since 1765 when it was called the Griffin Inn. At that time it was used for pleasure and business as the Manor Court was held here for rents to be paid and other official meetings. Later, in 1821, it was known as the Red Lion and was used by the overseer of the poor who was in charge of the poor house opposite in what is now Tremayne Hall.
Records show that by 1837 the inn was named the Lemon Arms and was still being used as a meeting house for the rent collector. Ale was brewed on the site using water from the village pump outside, painted today in the colours of the cart wheels which would have been pulled through the village by horse.
Today horses can still be seen in the street here and meetings still go on in the Lemon Arms. Not much changes in this sleepy Cornish village.
