Public Houses and Stoke Golding Club

The George and Dragon, Station Road

Formerly known as Thornfield House, it was built in 1883/4 for a Hinckley man, William Gray Farmer. It then stood well outside the village and was a hunting lodge with stabling and a groom’s cottage. It latter years it became a Liberal Club and finally Stoke Golding Club.
