History
Report
Originally built in 1535, The Bull Hotel in Bridport has a long and rich history - and retains every bit of its charm and character today. It was the scene of a murder during the Monmouth Rebellion, when Lieutenant Coker of Mappowder was killed by Colonel Venner, an officer of the Duke of Monmouth in 1685.
