The Saracens Head: A 19th Century Glimpse into Bath's Rich Literary History This evocative image captures The Saracens Head, an old and esteemed pub located in the heart of Bath, Somerset, England. Established in the 15th century, this historic inn has long been a beloved fixture in the city's landscape, drawing visitors from far and wide with its charming exterior and warm, inviting atmosphere. The Saracens Head holds a special connection to the literary world, thanks to its association with the great English author Charles Dickens. Dickens is said to have visited the pub several times during his travels, and it is believed that he used it as inspiration for the "Three Cripples" pub in his novel "Little Dorrit." The pub's name, "The Saracens Head," is believed to have originated from the Crusades, when returning soldiers would bring home souvenirs of Saracen heads as trophies. The image on the sign outside the pub depicts a Saracen warrior, adding to the rich history and intrigue of this beloved Bath institution. As you gaze upon this 19th century photograph, you can almost hear the clinking of glasses and the lively chatter of patrons, transporting you back in time to an era when literature and history intertwined in the most unexpected ways. The Saracens Head remains a cherished piece of Bath's literary and historical heritage, inviting visitors to step inside and soak up the atmosphere of this remarkable pub.
