Traditional Country Inns
Until 5AD rural taverns were for Roman troops. Most people drank home brewed ale, sold in houses. From circa 1100 roadside inns, often run by monks, were used by tradesmen - and pilgrims after Thomas Becket’s murder in 1170. By the 1600s most were coaching inns. Threatened by Puritans from the 1650s, the 1800s Temperance Society and 1900s licensing laws, country pubs now face closure in the global recession from 2008.
