The Brocket Arms

No village is complete without its pub, and Ayot St Lawrence is no exception. The Brocket Arms dates back to the 14 century, when it was the monastic quarters to the (now ruined) Norman church, until the Reformation.  Legend has it that a priest was tried and hanged in the building and that it has been haunted by the affable character ever since; ghost-detection groups can be found here from time to time. 

The pub offers a great selection of local beers, as well as good quality accommodation, including one room with a dramatic four-poster bed. The restaurant serves a wide selection of food, including local game in season. There is a large garden with a great play area for children.

SErvices in  2023

Look at our Facebook page for details, but normally they take place on the third Sunday of the month. We are hoping to move towards "Festival Church" status, which means we will follow dates for Christian  and secular Festivals, and try to focus on the interests of our community, linking the secular with the spiritual.

​After any of these services, why not book yourself in for lunch at the lovely Brocket Arms, originally the monastic quarters for the old, now ruined church a short stroll away 01438 820250.
