History

[edit]

The inn has been originally been a church or parish house dating back to the 15th century.[2] In 1967 it was made a listed building.[3]

The George Inn in Chardstock was closed permanently during the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents formed the George Inn Continuity Group after Chardstock Parish Council recognised it as an asset of community value.[4] They called on Historic England and East Devon District Council to intervene to save the "at risk" building.[5] The campaign was supported by local Member of Parliament Simon Jupp.[6] The inn is reportedly in poor condition.[7]
