Ginn Room Bar where in bygone times, horses walked around turning the grindstone to crush the crops, known as 'ginning'. *
The Old Ginn House Inn aims to ensure you have a most relaxing and enjoyable stay.
*A ginn-gang (or local area names of ginn-house, ginn-case, ginn-race) was a covered building where the ‘ginn’ (which is short for engine) was the power to drive a small threshing machine, and the horse did the ‘gang’ or going. The ginn was connected by cogs to a spindle, which was connected to a shaft attached to a horse, which turned the spindle and powered the machine by ‘ganging’ (walking) round.
