(Top right) The Old Poets Corner formally the Red Lion Inn
(Bottom) The Crispin Inn, the notice informs us that…
This House probably dates from the year 1416 when THOMAS BABINGTON of DETHICK and several men of ASHER returned from the BATTLE of AGINCOURT which was fought on St. CRISPINS DAY.
In 1646 JOB WALL the Landlord of the INN withstood the Kings Troops in the doorway and told them that they should have no more drink in his house as they had too much already.
But they turned him out and set watch at the door till all the ale was drunk or wasted.
The above incident occurred during the period when the Troops of KING CHARLES 1st were opposing OLIVER CROMWELLS ARMY.
