A 17th-century pub in Gussage All Saints in Dorset is set to reopen after it was bought by villagers.
The Drovers Inn closed in 2014 and was due to be developed into houses, however planning permission was denied after the villagers convinced the local council it could be a viable business.
The Gussage Community Benefit Society raised money to go towards a mortgage, and 170 shareholders have invested in the project.
