Historic Bishop’s Waltham
The Barleycorn Inn is a 17th century oak beamed building. At one time it was a brewery and before that a paupers' house; the paupers lived upstairs and the saloon bar was a pigsty!

Set deep in glorious Hampshire countryside, lies the attractive and historic town of Bishop’s Waltham.
A palace was founded here in 1136 by Bishop Henri de Blois, brother of King Stephen. For centuries, Bishop’s Waltham Palace was an important residence of the powerful Winchester bishops and hosted many Royal visitors. Here Henry V prepared for the Battle of Agincourt and Queen Mary 1 waited for King Philip to arrive from Spain for their wedding.
Cromwell had the palace destroyed in 1644, but the ruins can still be explored today.
During the battle of Trafalgar, the French Admiral Villeneuve was captured . He was taken prisoner and billeted in Bishop’s Waltham before his eventual release in 1806.
A visit to the museum in Brook Street will uncover more of the history of Bishop’s Waltham. Visits can be arranged by phoning 01489 894970. (this is not the pub’s number)
