Green Man, Trumpington
The Green Man is a Grade II listed pub in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England.
History
[edit]The pub has existed since the 15th century.[1] The original timber frame is still standing but has been concealed by later brickwork.[2] The original building included a medieval hall house, which was split into two floors in the 16th century.[1][3] A bay window facing the road was added later. The pub was extensively redeveloped around 1954.[1] The beer garden can accommodate up to 200 people.[4]
Horse shows were a popular event at the pub during the 1850s.[1] The wit and poet Charles Stuart Calverley is reported to have stolen the pub's sign whilst an undergraduate student at Cambridge.[5] The musician and bandleader Charles Shadwell was landlord of the pub during the 1960s.[6]
The pub has been Grade II listed since 1962.[2]
