The Marlborough Arms was the only Stroud Brewery pub in the town of Cirencester in 1903. The Stroud Brewery Courier announced in June 1948 that ‘Mr J.H.L. Newman, after several years employment finding suitable persons to conduct the Company’s licensed houses, resigned from his position at the end of March, having found a pub for himself, becoming the landlord of the Marlborough Arms in Cirencester. Mr Newman joined the company in June 1929 as a clerk in the Chepstow office, and came to Head Office in 1933. On behalf of the Directors and Staff, the Managing Director presented Mr Newman with a silver tea set, and expressed their best wishes for every success and prosperity in his new venture.’
The Marlborough Arms is now a great real ale pub and the interior is crammed with interesting brewery signs and memorabilia.
