the thatch The known history of this site starts long ago with St Endelienta, daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog (Brecon, South Wales). She came across the Bristol Channel to Croyde in the latter part of the fifth century to spread the teachings of Celtic Christianity to the pre-Saxon people living here at the time. Reputedly the god-daughter of King Arthur she became a most revered lady and monks later established a Priory here to honour her. The area gained religious importance due to the “Holy or Lady Well” that Endelienta blessed and this became a site of pilgrimage through the middle ages. Monks living at the Priory would have had to produce their own food and drink and the construction of the Thatched Barn was probably undertaken for them to store farm implements and produce, as well as to brew beer and no doubt to consume a little too - away from the watchful eyes of the Prior. Today the Thatched Barn Inn, known locally as the Thatch is one of the most popular Inns in the West-country; with a world-wide reputation for fine ales, wines and good wholesome food served in a friendly atmosphere of warm hospitality. Family owned and managed since 1985 we are now celebrating twenty five great years involvement with this special pub. There have been many changes and improvements over that time with the addition of Billy Budds next door and more recently with the acquisition of The Priory where everything started long ago. We are very proud to be part of this long history and we welcome you to The Thatch ~ Croyde's Famous Freehouse.
