The Battleaxes

Plans to convert a former pub into a family house have received a mixed response from villagers.
The pub was put up for sale with a £1million asking price after The Country Pub Group, which operated The Battleaxes in Wraxall, entered administration in August.
Since the firm entered administration, the public house, in Bristol Road, has been put on the market with Fleurets overseeing the sale.
The group purchased the grade-II listed building in September 2019.
The pub closed in March 2020 when the UK went into national lockdown and did not reopen.
A planning application has been submitted to North Somerset Council by the building owners to convert the pub into a six-bedroom house.
