Sir Christopher Wren has a long and rich history.

In the 18th century, the Cheshire family owned the Main House of the Sir Christopher Wren Hotel.

It later belonged to Mr. More, a local barge master and coal merchant to the King. More opened a gateway to a wharf by the river and erected stables for his many horses needed to tow the barges.

In 1918 the house fell empty, this could have been due to rumours of a ghost in the late as ‘Sir Christopher Wren’s bedroom’, which the house became known as the haunted house.

In 1920 it first became a hotel called the Riverholme Restaurant and Guest House. There were various owners after this, including a historic moment in 1950, where the Wren house was registered as a Grade II listed building of historic and architectural interest.

Finally, the hotel landed in the hands of Sarova Hotels in 2011.
