The pub has an unusual reminder of the past in that the front room is named – the knowledge room – over the entrance. It was also called Parliament and for years it was a place for village discussion and debate over current affairs, nationally and locally.
The origin of the Knowledge Room lie in the years after the French Revolution when the Government banned public libraries and taxed printed material so high that the poor could not afford it, in case it promoted revolution. The room contained a small reference library and newspapers were purchased from a weekly collection.
According to its deeds, the Wheatsheaf is entitled to 2 pews in the North aisle of Weaverham Church (in the days when you bought places in the church).
This pub is on a busy road with plenty of muggles about during the day.
LOG ETIQUETTE: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
