History 
In its current form, the Lygon Arms owes its existence to the turnpike road system; the turnpike was a barrier of Pikes, moved to one side giving safe passage, in effect a gate. Trustees of turnpikes collected a toll (fee) that financed the road's upkeep of 20 miles. Old Inns did exist long before the turnpikes of the late 1600s, but they could not cope with the volume of travellers across England. Customers wanted a comfortable place to get a refreshment or seek lodgings for a night; customers enjoyed hearty meals and a bed. Coach operators had stables and wheelwrights for coach repairs. Travelling got faster and faster, improvements made to coach suspension and the ability to stop at an Inn every ten miles and refresh horses was a game-changer. Thus, the coaching Inn was born.

A bit of drama
The Lygon Arms was a place to stay long before those innovations, changing its name to mirror the political leadership of the times and becoming a place to stay for parliamentarians during the English civil war. It is said that Oliver Cromwell himself lodged at the Lygon before the great battle of Worcester. His rival King Charles I also visited and gathered with his troops in what is now known as King Charles I Suite. So you can stay in the Oliver Cromwell suite and be part of England's history, although the only battle you are likely to have in the morning is getting out your sumptuous beds.
