About the event
HISTORY OF FOUR CROSSES
Four Crosses Inn dates back to 1636 - It is a Stuart building with additional Georgian brick. Built from old shipping timbers dating back hundreds of years further. Extensions were built in 1800s. The original purpose was that of a coaching inn, and has remained as such for many years. Situated on a Roman road, the inn was very busy, especially in the 1880s. When prisoners were in transport, they were held in the attic of the inn during stop-overs.
A hidden oak door was discovered in a wall in 1950. It was behind a thin layer of plaster and was carved with the date 1638. This discovery added weight to the idea of hidden passageways and secret tunnels within the pub. An old coachman’s uniform was discovered inside a bricked up chimney, perfectly preserved. It is believed to have been there for over 150 years!
The inn has been declared by some as the most haunted pub in Britain. Visitors of the inn are said to have included the infamous highway man Dick Turpin (see image), and Irish poet Jonathan Swift. Swift allegedly had a dispute with the landlord’s wife and in his frustration, he etched a window pane with his diamond ring. It is believed to have read something along the lines of
‘Thy fool, to hang four crosses at the door!
Hang up thy wife! There needs not any more’
The window pane, unfortunately, no longer remains.
is believed that many deaths have occurred on the premises in it’s history. People have allegedly been killed on the busy road when leaving the pub from the front door. The most recently recorded death was in 1980 when a young boy ran from the pub and was hit by a passing vehicle and killed. The door is no longer in use and visitors now enter and leave the building from a door at the back. A baby is said to have died upstairs after falling from a table in the 1800s and many suicides have also apparently taken place. I have been unable to find any evidence of these deaths. Of course, that is not to say they didn’t happen.
