The 'Crispin inn' .. Ashover - Derbyshire.

The 'Crispin inn' .. Ashover - Derbyshire.
The 'Crispin Inn at 'Ashover' Derbyshire...

The board reads.........................

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. Crispin's 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 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.

Thanks Chris... the main part of the pub is to the right... but the board was my subject on the day.
Cheers from Dj.
