Listed in the 1891 and 1903 petty sessional divisional records as having ‘no name’
The Beeches Inn was located in the middle of the three Cotswold stone cottages on the corner of London Road and Beeches Road. The Beeches Inn is sometimes known as the Cradle & Coffin.
Mrs Meriel Lock is also listed in the 1889 directory as a Haulier.
It might have taken its name from the ‘Beeches’, the large house now known as the Phoenix Centre – formerly the Beeches Community Centre. The ‘Beeches’ was once the home of Thomas Sewell, a leading Cirencester Solicitor.
