In July 1999, The Bell suffered a devastating fire, which destroyed the entire roof, first floor and much of the cottages attached. It took almost 18 months for the building to dry out and a year to renovate it to its present state. As The Bell is a listed building the work was carried out under the watchful eye of the English Heritage Trust. Many discoveries were made in the process including the huge fireplace in the upstairs bar which had been bricked over until the fire. The building as a whole has been returned to its former glory. The Bell Inn is situated on the main street in the picturesque village of Thorpe le Soken, nestled in the lush countryside en-route to the popular seaside destinations of Frinton on Sea and Walton on the Naze. Thorpe le Soken is a former market town which is steeped in history and boasts some of the finest walks in north Essex in the nearby countryside and around Hamford water, which is a tidal inlet which has marsh grasslands, creeks, mud and sand flats, salt marshes, islands and beaches.
