The grade-II* listed Italian Villa reputed to have been an inn of the early 18th century it was extensively remodelled in the 1830s. My oldest directory of 1835 makes no reference to an inn, alehouse or beer retailer at Edensor. Diane Naylor In her book Bygone Beeley tells us this was the Talbot Inn, which was remodelled by Paxton. The Norman fountain in its garden is on the site of the yard and brewhouse.
