Wentworth House
Wentworth House
was probably the house of Matthew Wentworth, who married the widow of Thomas
Michelbourne (d. 1632), and later belonged to James Bean (d. 1767), a returned
planter of Jamaica. Bean rebuilt or remodelled the house, which retains a mid
18th-century staircase and plaster work ceiling. He was a notable person and
established a charity that provided two shillings a week for bread for the poor of
the village, a charity that is now lost.
The house, with a stuccoed
façade, was altered and enlarged again in the 19th century and c. 1970, when it
was taken over by an Evangelical charity (Summer Crusades) as a conference and
retreat centre.* The hotel owes much to the charity which did substantial
landscaping and added the Spooner outbuildings, used at the time as a Chapel and
now as the Games room. Another makeover undertaken by Mrs & Mrs Northgraves
who created the beautifully co-ordinated decor. This steady improvement
has continued with Denise Whitmore and Roger Partridge installing double
glazing and raised the Hotel to a commercial 4 diamond rated establishment.
The present
owners Mark & Ann Teale hope to continue this tradition. We've been here for
six years and have made a number of improvements.

The secure car park can hold 15 cars.
The bar area has a fine selection of wines, spirits and popular
