Title
The Lord Nelson, Luddenden - BIM01189
Description
The Lord Nelson Inn, built of stone now rendered in roughcast, is the very epitome of a village pub. It has an unusual plan and may have always been an inn. It consists of two parallel ranges, staggered so that the west wing projects to the north and the east wing to the south. Above the entrance is the date 1634 and initials ‘GGP’ (for Gregory Patchet). It has typical mullioned windows with ornamental drip mouldings; those above the large transomed window are formed by the initials ‘GP’. Originally called the ‘White Swan’, it was renamed in honour of Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar. A former vicar of Luddenden made a bequest of books to the inn, attracting literary enthusiasts such as Bramwell Bronte while he worked as a clerk at Luddenden Foot railway station.
