OUR HISTORY
Built in the late 17th century by Peter Addison, The Addison Arms stands on a site where a tavern once served Glatton’s earliest villagers. The pub takes its name from Peter’s relative, the esteemed essayist and playwright Joseph Addison (1672–1719), whose elegant prose and wit defined an age. With its Dutch-influenced architecture, Flemish brickwork, and original spine beam, the building remains a proud reminder of craftsmanship and tradition. Preserving its heritage is central to who we are, honouring the past while offering a place for today’s stories to be shared.
