The final destination after my visit to Snowshill Manor was The Old Bell at Malmesbury. On arrival there was a surprise room upgrade (I wasn’t complaining) and a resident room bear. The Old Bell is reputed to be the oldest purpose built hotel in England, it dates back to 1220 and stands next to Malmesbury’s medieval Abbey.
The first photograph clearly shows a window lock and looks out towards the bell tower. It seems there only ever was a bell tower; even though there is space for a church, there is no evidence that one was ever built.
