Lygon Arms

The Lygon Arms (/ˈlɪɡən/ LIG-ən) is a Grade II* listed hotel in Broadway, Worcestershire, originally a coaching inn.

[4] The inn continued to be used as a staging post into the eighteenth century for mail coaches travelling between London and Wales.

[3] Sydney Bolton Russell (1866–1938) bought the Lygon Arms in 1903 from the Midlands brewer Samuel Allsopp & Sons, after first visiting the property in the early 1900s while he worked as a manager for the company.

Russell renovated the property in 1910 in a Tudor and Stuart period style, with the help of the Arts and Crafts architect Charles Bateman (1863–1947).

In 1915, Russell moved out of the newly refurbished hotel to the village of Snowshill with the aim of separating his business and personal life.
