A plea has been made for the preservation of an historic pub.

600 years old - the award-winning hostelry Ye Olde Cherry Tree, Little Oakley. 40888-a

The call comes after the landlords of award-winning hostelry Ye Olde Cherry Tree in Little Oakley resigned.

Now fans of the pub including Harwich's MP Ivan Henderson are uniting to ensure the pub's future.

Mr Henderson has stepped in and has written to Cheshire-based owners Inn2gether asking what it intends to do with the pub.

The Gazette was unable to contact Inn2gether.
