The Little Thatch (also known as The Thatch Inn) is a 14th-century timber-framed building at 141 Bristol Road, Quedgeley, Gloucester. It is now used as a public house and hotel.
The buildings were built in 1351,[1] both having thatched roofs, and were known as Queen Anne's Farm, Goulding's Farm (1884 map) and Read's Farm.[2] In 1535, it is rumoured Anne Boleyn stayed here when Henry VIII and herself passed through Quedgeley. It was extended in the 19th and 20th century, then since 1967 it has been used as a public house and hotel.[3]
From 1970, the Inn was operated by Jacky McDougall. The building was Grade II listed on 30 September 1985.[4] In 2015, The Hotel Inspector filmed in the Little Thatch to help the former owner. In 2018, the Inn was sold to the Hatton Collection for £800,000.[5]
