1. Title: "Charmouth's Hidden History: The Queens Armes Inn and the Fugitive King Charles II" 2. Subtitle: Unveiling the Fascinating Past of a Dorset Inn, Once a Hiding Place for the English Monarch 3.. Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Charmouth, Dorset, lies a historic gem that holds a significant place in English history - The Queens Armes Inn. This early 16th-century house, refaced in the 18th century, is not just a charming inn but a testament to a bygone era. The inn, which was once part of Forde Abbey, played a pivotal role in the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. On September 22, 1651, the defeated King Charles II, seeking refuge and a means to escape to France, arrived in disguise at the inn. The innkeeper, a loyal supporter of the monarchy, provided him with much-needed shelter and assistance in his quest for exile. This clandestine visit took place just a few days after the Battle of Worcester, a decisive battle in the Second English Civil War, which saw the Royalist forces led by King Charles II being defeated by the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell. The Queens Armes Inn, with its rich history, stands as a reminder of the turbulent times in England's past. The house, which was formerly part of Forde Abbey, offers a unique blend of history and hospitality, inviting visitors to step back in time and explore the stories that unfolded within its walls. The inn's connection to the fugitive king adds an intriguing layer to its history, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. 3.
