The George, Norton St. Philip - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of The George Inn, a remarkable architectural gem nestled in the picturesque village of Norton St. Philip, Somersetshire. Dating back to the 14th or 15th century, this Grade I listed building stands as a testament to centuries gone by. The inn's rich history is palpable; it served as a crucial headquarters during the Monmouth Rebellion and later witnessed the harrowing Bloody Assizes unfold within its walls. As you gaze at this image from "Old Inns - A Series of 40", taken in 1936 by an unknown creator, you can almost hear echoes of past trials and feel the weight of historic events that unfolded here. The half-timbered facade exudes old-world charm and character while standing proudly against time's relentless march forward. Against this backdrop, we catch glimpses of people going about their daily lives – men and women dressed in vintage attire, children playing freely outside one of Britain's oldest pubs. This print evokes nostalgia for simpler times when community life revolved around gathering at public houses like The George Inn. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing landscapes and evolving societies, there are places that stand steadfastly rooted in tradition. As you admire this aged yet vibrant image captured on a cigarette card from W. D & H. O Wills' collection, let your imagination wander through history's corridors and appreciate how these ancient walls have borne witness to countless stories throughout their existence.
