Bell Hotel
3
awarded by AA
The Bell in Thetford began its eventful life as a seminary but under Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries it was sold as an inn in 1540 and renamed the Bell. The sense of history is enhanced at The Bell by the fact that the hotel retains much of its original character. In 1938 when layers of wallpaper were stripped away Tudor wall paintings were discovered from an old open gallery. These paintings can now been seen preserved behind glass in one of the bedrooms. The Bell Hotel is also famous as the home of the cast & crew of the television series “Dad’s Army”. Thetford features throughout the “Dad’s Army” series providing backdrops to many of the programmed scenes. Due to the nature of the layout and age of the building, The Bell Hotel is unable to offer any ground floor rooms or lifts.
