The Prince of Wales pub in Newtown-in-St-Martin closed in November 2020. The financial impacts of the pandemic led to the shutdown of this pub in Cornwall. Now £240,000 from the Community Ownership Fund has supported the purchase and reopening of the 17th century inn.

Community plans to put pub at the heart of the town

Community ownership of the pub is being led by a community group: Friends of the Newton St Martin Pub Limited. The community group are hoping that by reopening the pub, it becomes the focal point of the town again.
