I’m unsure where those 70-odd £100 stays are hiding. With its fine Georgian buildings and handsome prebendal houses, once home to the minster’s canons, this isn’t a cheap place to live: Zoopla puts the average property price here, in the “jewel of Nottinghamshire”, at £404,230 (the county average is £244,032). However, I found a cute bolthole that didn’t break the bank.
Kate Cronin grew up in the 18th-century house at No 56 Church Street and now runs its annex as a small but niftily-designed studio flat. It’s in a great location too. Almost opposite is No 75, home to the original tree from which gardener Henry Merryweather propagated the first Bramley apple in the 1850s. The old, fungus-infected tree still stands; you can just about see it from the car park at the Hearty Goodfellow, where Kate invited me for a drink.
Kate knew everyone in the pub – Southwell’s that sort of place – and was soon reeling off recommendations: Reg Taylor’s Garden Centre, coffee at Alfresco Caffe, a walk along the rail trail from the Final Whistle pub to Maythorne’s All Mine Cakes by the Lake. However, I’d already had a tip-off for dinner. A vibrant young team had taken over the restaurant at the Saracens Head, I’d been told, and were creating a bit of a buzz.
