Minster: The Bell Inn to reopen after closing down six months ago

A pub which shut down six months ago reopened at the weekend.

The Bell Inn in Minster closed its doors in January when tenants Ken and Fiona Shewring decided not to stay on.

A post on Facebook on New Year’s Day informed regulars that the pair, who had run the pub for five years, had made the decision with "a heavy heart".
