The pub is an area that has long been associated with sheep farming and the woolen trade.
A plaque on the side of the pub describes the significance of the name 'Bishop Blaize'.
BISHOP BLAIZE HOTEL
named after St, Blazius,
patron saint of wool-combers,
martyred for his Christianity
by the Romans A.D. 316.
Many wool towns had a carnival
Bishop Blaize procession.
Travelling players performed here
at the inn's long room before the
Georgian Theatre was built in 1788.
