Cheylesmore inn, 60 Greyfriars Lane
| These premises have been known by different names during their history: | FROM | TO | NAME |
| 1756 | c1896 (1909?) | BELL, BLUEBELL | |
| c1896 | 1939 | CHEYLESMORE INN | |
The name comes from the local district of Cheylesmore. In 1896 this pub was leased by Phillips & Marriott for the life of Mrs. Sarah Harris and in 1914 it was purchased by them for the sum of £2,000. In 1935 it was advertising Bass on draught and in bottles and it must have closed by 1939 as that is when the new Cheylesmore Inn opened on Daventry Road. It appears that the Cheylesmore was previously known as the Bell, although the two names appear to have overlapped between c1896 and 1909.
