EDITORS COMMENTS

This historic inn, now a popular local watering hole and dining destination, has been a source of fascination for literature enthusiasts around the world due to its connection to Charles Dickens and his novel, Barnaby Rudge, published in 1841. The Kings Head, with its timbered facade and half-timbered gables, is a quintessential English inn that has stood the test of time. Its distinctive T-shaped design and the prominent Maypole in the foreground have made it an iconic landmark in the village. Dickens immortalized this inn in his novel as the Maypole Inn, a significant setting in the story. Barnaby Rudge, one of Dickens' earlier works, is a historical novel that explores the social and political tensions in England during the Gordon Riots of 1780.

As you gaze at this image, imagine the bustling activity that once took place within the walls of this historic inn. The laughter of patrons, the clinking of glasses, and the lively chatter of village gossip all come to life as you transport yourself back to the 17th century. A visit to The Kings Head inn today offers a glimpse into the past, allowing you to connect with the rich history and traditions that have shaped this charming English village. Whether you're a literature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for a unique dining experience, The Kings Head inn is a must-visit destination.
