A medieval-era pub which is steeped in history is reopening in the new year under new landlords. 

The Green Dragon in Wymondham will see its third landlord in less than 12 months operate the 14-century drinking hole.

The pub, managed by Admiral Taverns, was listed for rent earlier this month after its former tenants, Victoria and Grahame Macdonald - who run the Cellar House in Eaton - departed.

Before the Macdonalds, experienced publican Jill Tickle ran the grade-II listed pub for eight months, giving up the lease in February.

But now, Kieran Bullen and Kayleigh Charlish - landlord and landlady of The White Hart in nearby Market Street - have announced they are taking over the premises effective immediately.

The couple said: "The Green Dragon is such a key part of the community and Wymondham’s history, making us incredibly lucky to have the chance to run such a beautiful and outstanding pub.

"The charm and character of this pub is something that we intend to preserve and carry forward, maintaining its community spirit and reputation."

With the new tenants aiming to reopen close to the new year, The Green Dragon will see the return of a classics and grill menu as well as a new menu for summer. 

The couple's announcement was met with an outpouring of support on social media.

"We can all moan about pubs closing, but it definitely has to be use it or lose it. We look forward to seeing you soon."

The pair have confirmed they are not leaving The White Hart and will be running both pubs in tandem.
