 Possessing a high degree of old
world charm, The Blue Bell provides a
warmth of welcome so sadly missing in more contemporary settings. We are open seven days a
week throughout the year for morning coffee, lunch or
evening meals. Satisfaction is a journey, we look forward to your visit.
The hotel has been tastefully modernised with its
antique furnishings, log fires and beamed ceilings. The
Blue Bell Hotel has been part of the village of Heversham for over five
hundred years. It began life as the vicarage in 1460 when the Archbishop of
York instructed the Abbot of St Mary's in York to provide a house and garden
for the new vicar. You can still see the walls of the old vicarage,
its low ceilings and thick oak beams in the portion consisting of the
cocktail lounge, the kitchen behind and the upper floor and roofs of that
area. The building remained as a vicarage until 1843 when it was
bought by the Woods sisters and converted into their home which they called
"Elm Tree Lawn". During its life as a vicarage the building and
the church survived the civil war and also the visit to nearby Kendal in
1745 of Bonnie Prince Charlie during his bid for the English throne.
Many year later the building was purchased by the grammar school to use as a
dorm for twenty years, after which a Mr Hunter who kept fighting cocks made
it his home. When a loop road was built dividing the garden, the house
was sold once more to a Mr Dickinson who now realised it's potential as a
hotel. The hotel has held its present name since 1967 when it was
transferred from the old hostelry opposite the church belfry. This is
the condensed tale of over 500 years of the Blue Bell Hotel.
