The History of the English Pub from Medieval Times
Manage episode 459698783 series 3269345
Hello!
Happy New Year and a Happy New Season of The Delicious Legacy Podcast!
Pubs. I love them! Who doesn't?
Culturally and socially important spaces throughout the centuries, more so the past two hundred years.
We mourn when one has closed down. We regularly hear about their supposed demise now or in the near future. But pubs, inns, taverns, alehouses, have been part of the fabric of life in these Isles since early medieval times.
They are everywhere and ever evolving in nature.
On today's episode I have invited the esteemed buildings archaeologist James Wright to explain a little bit behind the myths, mysteries and misunderstandings about the institution that is the British Pub!
How did you order and got served your beer in the 17th century pub? And what's a "buttery hatch"?
What are some of the most prevalent myths about the oldest pub in England? Why these stories keep persisting?
How did the pub started in the Medieval period and how does it differ to the pub we know today?
These and many more subjects you'll find on today's episode all about the history of our beloved pubs!
