Stanlake Park is a historic estate dating back to 1166, with buildings from the 15th to early 19th centuries, once part of Windsor Great Park and hosting royals. A working vineyard since the 1970s, it produces award-winning wines on site. The charming Wine Bar occupies a renovated Victorian greenhouse, while the Tasting Shed, once the manor’s potting shed, shares an original wall with the medieval walled garden.

GHT, originally God’s House Gate, dates back to 1189 and was built to protect Southampton from sea attacks. After a French raid in 1338, defensive walls were ordered by Edward III, and by 1400, the Tower at God’s House housed gunpowder and cannons. In the 1700s, it became God’s House Gaol, a harsh, overcrowded prison. After closing in 1855, it was used as a mortuary, then a warehouse. In the 1960s, it became the city’s archaeology museum, closing in 2011. Following a major restoration, GHT reopened in 2019 as a vibrant arts and heritage venue with a rich, layered history.

The building, opened as a Methodist church in February 1925, originally displayed a banner reading "For Southampton and the World." In its early years, over 1000 people made commitments to Christ, with many reporting healings. The evangelist Billy Graham spoke here in 1954, and Harold Wilson addressed a Labour Party meeting in the 1960s. In 1990, New Community Church purchased the building, and in 1996, the BBC recorded Songs of Praise at Central Hall. Nearly a century later, we continue to honor the vision of those who built this incredible structure, aligning our future with its original purpose.

Oliver Cromwell himself stayed at The Old Crown Coaching Inn during the civil war. During the Wars of the Roses, the Crown Bar displayed a Red Rose in the windows, with the original windows still present in the bar. The history of Faringdon is fascinating with The Old Crown Coaching Inn playing a significant role in both civil wars. In the 16th Century All Saints’ Church, built on a Saxon worship site, was central to the life of the monks in the area life and their tunnel network. The tunnels extended to what is now The Old Crown Coaching Inn, where monks are rumoured to have discreetly entered the bar to enjoy drinks covertly and utilised certain rooms designated for ladies' services. Within Faringdon historical timeline, a sizeable tunnel, likely not built by monks but accessible today through 7a Marketplace, features medieval shops and a well. It may connect to Swan Lane, with a suggested link to a 1960s-discovered tunnel behind the Old Police Station on Coach Lane, heading towards the church. You can see part of one of these tunnels form our snug bar.
