EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts "The New Inn, Gloucester" an illustration from John Richard Green's renowned book, A Short History of The English People (Vol II), published in 1874. The New Inn, built between 1450 and 1457, holds a significant place in history as it is believed to have hosted pilgrims visiting Edward II's tomb at Gloucester Cathedral. Legend has it that even Shakespeare himself visited this inn with the Chamberlain's men. The intricate drawing showcases the architectural beauty of this medieval tavern, transporting us back to the fifteenth century during the reign of the House of Plantagenet.

It captures both the grandeur and simplicity that coexisted within medieval society. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this engraving stands as a testament to British heritage.
