A Wayside Tavern

by Norah Lofts
Published by Hodder & Stoughton (1980)

Review

The tale of a Suffolk drinking place, the One Bull, from the end of the Roman occupation till 1980. Similar to “I am England” in its conception, but instead of the focus being on the landscape, the focus is on how the inn evolves and changes with each succession of inhabitants and the stories of generations of the inn owners. There are some touching romances, monks, a martyred Anglo Saxon king, Danes, the plague of 1348, the coming of the Reformation and so on.
