The Cricketers Inn

The Cricketers Inn is a pub in the village of Longparish, in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. Public structured data records it as a pub at that location, and its official webpage sits within the pub portfolio of Wadworth & Co. Ltd., an independent family brewer and pub operator based in Devizes, Wiltshire. Like many traditional English village pubs, it serves as a local social hub offering cask ales, food and hospitality, and its name is taken from the sport of cricket, a common naming convention for British pubs. The pub belongs to Wadworth's "tied" estate, meaning it is owned or operated by the brewer and typically serves Wadworth beers alongside a food menu. Its address and identity are recorded in open knowledge bases as a pub in Longparish, Test Valley, Hampshire, England. The Cricketers Inn is therefore best understood as a single-site licensed hospitality venue rather than a standalone consumer brand or large corporate group. Because it is a small, locally significant establishment, detailed public information about its founding date, past licensees and ownership history is limited. What the available evidence establishes clearly is its location, its nature as a pub, and its association with Wadworth through the official listing. The record below documents these facts and notes where reliable public information is lacking.

The Cricketers Inn is a public house in Longparish, a village in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. Public structured data records it simply as a pub in that location, and its official web listing places it within the pub estate of Wadworth & Co. Ltd., the family brewer and pub company headquartered in Devizes, Wiltshire. English pubs named after cricket are common, reflecting the sport's deep roots in village life, and a pub in a Hampshire village would traditionally serve as a focal point for the community. The Cricketers Inn fits this pattern: a local licensed premises offering beer, food and a social space, operated within a larger brewery's tied estate rather than as an independent free house. Wadworth is an independent regional brewer whose pub estate includes numerous leased and tenanted houses across southern England. Being part of such an estate means the pub's beer supply and often its operational framework are linked to the brewery, while day-to-day hospitality is delivered at the venue itself. The Cricketers Inn's official page is hosted on Wadworth's website, confirming that relationship. Detailed records of the pub's founding date, its architectural history, and the sequence of licensees and owners are not available in the supplied evidence. What can be stated with confidence is its identity as a pub, its location in Longparish, Test Valley, Hampshire, and its association with Wadworth. Further historical detail would require local archives or the brewery's own records.
