Venue History: The Haycock did not revert to its original calling as an inn until 1928, when it was purchased by local Fotheringhay dairy farmer, Charles Allday, who ran the inn with his sister Evelyn. In 1930, The Haycock changed hands yet again to Phillip Thompson who ran it until 1935. The new proprietors were Ian Drayton and his wife. The licence was transferred to Mrs. Drayton when her husband was called-up for service during the Second World War. During this turbulent period, The Haycock proved a popular watering-hole for the large contingent of American Servicemen who flew from many surrounding fighter and bomber stations.
In 1961, The Haycock was purchased by George Hotels of Stamford Ltd then in 1971 was taken over by Poste Hotels Ltd. In 1999 it was sold by Arcadian Hotels who sold it on to Hand Picked Hotels.
In 2003 The Haycock was purchased by its present owner Mrs Judith Carter who have lovingly restored this fine historic building adding luxurious fittings and furnishings. The Team works tirelessly to ensure The Haycock will be an asset to the beautiful village of Wansford and provides a warm welcome to all who rest or dine behind its beautiful and historic walls.
With grateful thanks to David Stuart-Mogg for his permission to extract the history of The Haycock from his book Wansford At The Millenium printed by Peter Spiegl & Co,Stamford.
