History of the Golden Ball
Listed Building
Inn. C17.
28 December 1978
The Golden Ball at Boxworth, a 13th-century free house, has been undergoing a period of improvements. There is a completely new bar carefully designed to blend in with the character of the building, which was originally a bakehouse; it uses sturdy oak beams from a barn roof at Wakering in Essex and involved the construction of areas of Tudor bricks traditional in herringbone style. Another team of craftsmen renewed the kitchen, cellar and toilet areas whilst keeping all three fully operational. The three donkeys who have established themselves firm favourites with the customers now have a specially designed stable with a thatched roof. — Mike Petty, Boxworth Scrapbook 1897 to 1990, p. 6.
