Norton St Philip |
The George Inn at Norton St Philip has been operating for over 700 years and is one of Britain’s oldest taverns. The Inn has a great significance in Britain’s history in the sense that during the Pitchfork Rebellion (1685), the Duke of Monmouth, who led a ragtag army of locals armed with muskets, scythes and pitchforks against his uncle, is said to have been shot at the George Inn. The pub is popular for its Butcombe beer.
List of Traditional British Pubs
No institution is more English than a pub (short for public house). The pub culture is an important part of British social life and a place to go to socialize, relax, and have a drink. A British pub traditionally has carpets, a fireplace, a jukebox, a decent selection of real ales on draft, and a bell, however with time, the traditional pubs have adapted to modernity too.
