More about this scene
The inn is now closed; at one time there was a bowling green nearby from which it may have taken its name. Outside stands an AA patrol van. The house on the right is now described as Maltravers, '18th-century restaurant'. Beth Chatto's well-known garden can be found on the edge of the village.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My great grandfather William Henry Parkins ran The Bowling Green from the 1920s until his death in 1953. I am aware that the Pub has now closed and the last time I visited (6-7 years ago) it was being converted into a private home. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers my great grandfather or any other members of the Parkins family.
