Comments: As you can see from my address I don't live in Sibford - but I did until several months ago and still have many friends there. It was a sad and bad day when the current owners bought the Bishops Blaize. I don't think anyone was surprised when they closed the pub down and started their long journey to get a change of use order. Not surprised, but very disappointed, if not angry. The Bishops Blaize has always been an integral part of this lovely village and was a warm and welcoming meeting place for the villagers. Very much a community pub with all that that provides. All of us have sorely missed it since it has been closed. I truly hope that the application to turn it into a private dwelling will be refused again so that maybe new owners can be found who want to be part of the village life. PublicAccess for Planning.
