Please see the following statement from The Plough’s management team:
On behalf of The Plough’s committee it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerry McMahon on Saturday 25 October at York Hospital surrounded by his family. Gerry was the main driving force behind the 13 year fight for the pub resulting in the purchase of The Plough by the community a year ago, with a supporting Government grant. We will greatly miss Gerry, not only for his huge dedication and passion for this beloved village pub, but also for his genuine warmth, strength, interest and support to us and all within the village. His focus on community and determination to bring The Plough back to life has left an important lasting legacy not only for the village of Fadmoor but also for the broader community. As a team we are totally committed to bringing his vision for the pub into a reality as we look to open the doors in Spring 2026.
