Fix this textTHE GEORGE INN, OLDEST OF ENGLAND’S LICENSED TAVERNS
Fix this textEnglish inn has a great tradition, for down through the
Fix this textcenturies its hospitality has been remarked upon by the overseas
Fix this texttraveller to Britain. Its hey-day was in the coaching era, when the
Fix this textinns along the great coaching roads flourished and expanded to
Fix this textmeet the demands of the ever-increasing road traffic. The inns
Fix this textplayed their part in two world wars, and many of those who visited
Fix this textBritain during the war years remember some snug bar or quaint
Fix this textlittle roadside inn with affection.
Fix this textOne of these may well be The George, at Norton St. Philip, an
Fix this textancient village near Bath. The George is one of the most remark-
Fix this textable hostels in Somerset, for it was licensed as an ale-house in 1397.
Fix this textIts long stone-built ground floor is topped by two stories of timber
Fix this textand plaster work. The casement windows above and the grey stone
Fix this textroof are pleasing features of this ancient building, and the arched
Fix this textdoorway in the centre leads to a courtyard which is overlooked by
Fix this texta gallery. The celebrated diarist Samuel Pepys was entertained at
Fix this textThe George in June, 1668.
Fix this textNorton St. Philip was the scene of a sharp skirmish between
Fix this textthe Duke of Monmouth’s forces and the royalists under the Duke
Fix this textof Grafton during the rebellion in 1685. Monmouth spent the
Fix this textnight before the Battle of Sedgemoor (July 6, 1685) at The Qeorge
Fix this textat Norton St. Philip; the following morning, while dressing before
Fix this texta window, he was fired on and missed by a sniper, at whose hands
Fix this texthe would probably have had a more merciful death than the one he
Fix this textwas later to suffer.
