An opportunity to visit six sites in Chearsley Village, which, at some time during the last 500 years, sold beer and refreshments
The Chearsley Village Pub Revival Day will provide an opportunity to visit six different 'pubs' which have provided beer and refreshments to the inhabitants of Chearsley at various times over the last 500 years or so
The list includes The Boot, The Pig and Whistle, The Plough, The Red Lion, The White Horse - not forgetting The Bell, which still serves beer, food and refreshments to its local community
The current owners and residents of all these 'pubs' will be happy to share an anecdote or two with their visitors, about their life and times in earlier days
The population of Chearsley Village was around 250 in the mid-1800s, when five 'pubs' plied their tradeAs for many typical farming-based communities, this figure remained unchanged until the 1950s and 60s, when the number of new houses and conversion of agricultural buildings began to change things significantly
And, today, just one much-loved pub, The Bell, serves a community of nearly 600 residents!
It will also be an occasion to reflect on the development of 'pubs' over recent centuries, as they gained a unique place within British society as a whole
The history of brewing beer is also a much-debated topic among historians
In medieval times, beer became an integral part of our national diet for men, women (and children!)It was regarded as an important source of nourishment, especially for those undertaking heavy physical labour and, in many cases, safer to consume than locally available water, often of dubious quality
Much of the beer drunk, especially among the poorer classes, became known as 'small beer'With a lower alcohol content, It was produced as a by-product of the stronger initial brew and was therefore significantly cheaper
The event will be an opportunity to reconnect with some traditional village heritage and further details can be seen in the event poster (below)
