St Crispin 1907

Above postcard, circa 1907, kindly sent by Rory Kehoe.

A bit marginal (literally!) but the cart is outside the pub, the sheep are grazing what's now the car park and the Crispin's gable end is in shot. The large building, behind the tree, is Worth School. Rory Kehoe says:- "My mother was head teacher for 20 years.

 

 BTW. You list Geoff Lenham and Randy as licensees. Not quite. Geoff Lenham and Helen (surname forgotten) remained at the P&H, Tilmanstone, whilst Randolph and Elizabeth Tillings ran the Crispin. When they sold up, they ran the George & Dragon, Sandwich.

Crispin Inn at Worth, card

Taken from a card issued by the pub, date unknown.

 

One of the original tied houses of Thompson and Sons brewery at Walmer.

Legend has it, that the St. Crispin is so named due to Henry V landing very close to Worth, after stuffing the French at Agincourt and one of his soldiers falling for the charms of a local alewife. They lived together for a while at the local inn and it was named in honour of St. Crispin, as it was on his feast day (25th October) in 1415 that King Henry's army soundly defeated the French.

 Henry's army was supplied with locally brewed beer from the Deal and Walmer area, under the terms of the Confederation of the Cinque Ports.

This pub was sold along with another 11 public houses in neighbouring villages in 1826. The sum was £625 for this house but it is not known from who or to whom.

The following has been take from their web site at the following address

From the web site http://www.stcrispininn.com

Situate and being in the upper half hundred of Eastry lathe of St Augustine, lies the parish of Worth, written in Saxon text as Wealth, then later word, or occasionally Woad. There within the parish boundaries can be found the St Crispin Inn.

This tenement was built during the reign of Henry V (1413-1422) in the year 1420. It was originally a farmhouse forming part of the estate of the Nebynson family of Eastry, who came to settle there during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377). It was here that the Reeve lived. The Reeve was the overseer or foreman who acted for the Lord of the Manor. The earliest recorded occupant of the house is one Nathaniel Foysters, overseer and farmer who resided here in 1493. For most of the sixteenth century the house was occupied by tenant farmers bound to the estate of Nebynson.

In 1625 the property was split from the estate and sold with 7 acres of arable land to one Clement Gardner, farmer and shipping agent, formerly of Sandwich. He resided in and owned the property until his death here in 1653, after which it was transferred by right of descendancy to his nephew Avery Gardner, malt and hop brewer of Dover. In 1668 he sold the property to his brother Amos, also a brewer of Dover, for 175 guineas. Included in the sale inventory was a "brewehouse, 5 wassails (drinking mugs) a mare, harness and saddle, and 15 chickens". Amos Gardner held the property until 1682 whereupon he sold it to one Abraham Skulley, brewer and common beer-seller of Sandwich. In 1690 he was granted a common ale and cider licence and the house became a registered but untitled ale house.

In 1712 he sold a now flourishing ale establishment to one Michael Ambrose, shoemaker and beer seller of Goddington, near the town of Ashford. The family of Ambrose were for many years shoe-makers at Ashford, so in keeping with tradition, Michael Ambrose called the house "The Crispin", after Saint Crispin and Saint Crispinian, who were the patron saints of shoemakers. He registered the house under this title and, for some reason, omitted the word 'Saint'. This was not added until 1906 when one Edward Minter became keeper.

In 1767 Joshua Hawkins, keeper of this inn for twenty three years, died. In his last will and testament he bequeathed the inn, all his chattels and belongings to his wife Fanny, on condition that she remain a widow for the rest of her nature life, never remarrying and therefore remaining faithful to the spirit of her dead husband. This was a strange request for, when he died, Joshua Hawkins was 74 years old and his wife 73. She remained a widow and died here in 1772.

Worth, though only a small parish, extended then as far as the coast line - notorious for smugglers, who were known to have used the Crispin. Reward posters were often hung in the inn as a deterrent against those committing the offences or as an incentive for those who wished to inform. In 1790, the Crispin became the post house where the mail was collected and sorted and quite often the task of delivering fell upon the shoulders of the resident keeper, a tradition that lasted well into the nineteenth century. Inquests on bodies washed ashore were held here throughout the nineteenth century. In 1857, a collision occurred between a barge and a sailing ship, resulting in the loss of sixteen lives. Each one of the corpses was carried on the shoulders of men from the beach to a lodge at the rear of the inn, to await the coroner.

From 1850 until the turn of the twentieth century, innkeepers from other inns and taverns would hold meetings here. They came to discuss business and collect their spirits, for during this period the Crispin was the spirit wholesalers. A business set up by one Charles Lepine in 1850. Lepine was for many years the post master of the parish.

The St Crispin has seen many changes since first it was built, but its character remains unchanged. So, stay, enjoy the fayre and reflect on those bygone days.

INQUEST, &c.

On Monday Mr. Callaway, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the “Crispin Inn,” Word, on the body of a male child which had been discovered on the sea shore, near No. 2 Battery. William Frost, of Deal said that about eight o’clock on Saturday morning, near No. 2 Battery, he discovered the body of the deceased child floating on the water. He and another boy got out and informed the Coast Guard.

John Hopkins, Coast Guardsman, deposed to seeing the boys body out of the water.

Dr. Emmerson, of Sandwich stated that he had examined the body, which was that of a full grown healthy looking male child. There were no external marks of violence on the body, which had not been in the water long, but it might have been dead before being put in.

The jury found a verdict “Found Dead in the Sea.”

MALTREATING A LANDLORD

John William Hinchcliffe and Robert Atkinson were charged with assaulting William Ward, landlord of the "Crispin," Worth, on the previous day.

The prosecutor said the two men had been working at Worth for the last week. He returned home about 5 p.m. the previous day and found them at his house. They were served with beer in the tap-room. Witness went to his tea and afterwards returned to the tap-room, as the men were using bad language. He remonstrated with them, and Atkinson then threatened him and wanted him to fight. He continued to use bad language, and prosecutor took hold of him and put him out of the door. The man then turned and tried to strike him. Hinchcliffe also left and both returned and burst open the door. Atkinson again struck out at him and Hinchliffe encouraged him, and eventually the latter took up a pint glass and threw it at prosecutor, striking him on the head. He received wounds in five places, and had to be attended by Dr. Chidley.

William Michelthwaite corroborated the prosecutor's evidence. He said when the latter returned to the tap-room the men asked for more beer and the landlord refused to serve them, and as they continued to use the same filthy language Mr. Ward put Atkinson outside. The prosecutor then bolted the door and the men kicked it and burst it open. They came inside and Atkinson again struck Mr. Ward and Hinchcliffe threw a pint glass at him. The glass caught a slanting piece of partition and broke, the pieces striking the landlord's head. The latter was led to the kitchen, and witness bathed his head.

The Magistrates sentenced each to 14 days with hard labour.

From an email received 16 July 2014.

As far as I know the Solly family and the Solley family famed for their dairies were not related.

I was interested to see the name Mary Elizabeth Solly as I thought her name was Elizabeth, (I only knew her as Granny). All the postcards and envelopes addressed to her that I have from her maiden days were addressed to Elizabeth Pilcher.

Frederick Thomas Excell died of cancer and his wife ran the pub on her own for about a year, at that time breweries did not allow widows to carry on for more than a year, I think the term used was something like the Widows Grace. She married Douglas Solly and continued at the pub but I think the licence was then in the name of Douglas Solly.

For interest I attach a picture of the tombstone of Frederick Thomas Excell which is at Worth Church, and a newspaper cutting of the obituary of Douglas Solly. I don't think the Excell's could have had much money because it was the customers who paid for the tombstone that is pictured.

SANDWICH

Mr. Douglas Solly, of 32 Laburnum Avenue, Sandwich, died in Faversham Hospital, aged 78, exactly eight weeks after the death of his elder brother, Mr. R. H. Solly, of Mill Wall Place, Sandwich.

Born in Sandwich, Douglas Solly was in his youth a very useful cricketer and was a keen member of the old Sandwich Cricket Club in 1905. About 1907 he entered the accounts office of messrs. Warboys' Brewery in Cambridge, of which his cousin, the late Mr. T. S. Colman, of Ash, was a director.

As a change from his sedentary occupation his hobbies were helping to train greyhounds for coursing matches and visiting Newmarket to watch the training of potential winners of the derby and other horse races and passing on useful "tips" to friends!

At the outbreak of the 1914-18 War he joined the Royal Army Service Corps and was placed in mechanised section as he was already an experienced motor driver with a good technical knowledge of the inner working of cars.

He served in France for over four years, driving the heave lorries containing either food supplies or ammunition up to the firing line.

In 1920 with his war-gratitude he bought a fairly large fruit plantation at Worth. For some years he worked at this successfully, but eventually on medical advice he had, reluctantly, to relinquish it. Like so many lorry-drivers of World War 1 who went for days and nights without sleep, particularly during 1918 spring when the Allies were nearly defeated, his health suffered as the years went by.

After selling the fruit plantation he became, for some years, "mine host" of the old "St Crispin Inn" at Worth. Later he lived in London and Sussex before returning to his home town permanently.

He was a widower with no family.

Behind his quiet reserved manner was a lot of good-nature and a keen sense of humour. he had many friends in the district.

The cremation service at Barham was conducted by the Rev. Canon R. O. Clark, R.D.

Mourners, Mr. and Mrs. R. Solly (brother and sister-in-law). Miss Maxton (niece) Mr. and Mrs. G. Excel, Mrs. F. Excel (also representing Mr. F. Excel).

Floral tributes were from: Bob and Dickie; Margaret, Lorna and Hazel; Meg; Ted, Mary and Bill; Mrs. Marsh, George and Rose; Fred and Kitty.

Mr. E. W. Solly (brother) and Mr. and Mrs. W. Sage (nephew and niece) were unable to attend.

SHOPS AND PUBS REWARDED FOR EXCELLENCE

The ancient inn of St. Crispin at Worth, near Deal, has won the annual competition to find the best pub for tourists in the Dover district.

The result of the competition, run by the White Cliffs Country Tourism Association, were announced this week.

St. Crispin Inn has recently changed hands, but when the association's team of judges secretly visited Jane and Terry O'Brien were in charge.

Two months ago plumber and heating engineer Tyrone Mayes acquired the lease of the pub. The building is owned by Enterprise Inns.

Mr. Mayes, who continues to work as a plumber, said: "I had been drinking as a customer at St. Crispin for 20 years."

He liked the place so much he bought the lease.

The attractive property, once a farmhouse, was built in 1420 and is believed to be haunted.

In joint second place in the competition were the "King's Head" in Beach Street, Deal, and the "Crown Inn" at Finglesham.

About 20 pubs were nominated by customers and were visited by association judges.

From the Dover Mercury, 19 November, 2015. By Colin Varrall.

Inn that (might have) made home for Henry V.

St Crispin

Local legend had claimed for many years that when Henry V returned from his St Crispin’s Day victory at Agincourt, he disembarked at Worth and it was there that he met and fell in love with a village ale wife.

It was believed that the two of them lived together for a time at the local inn, which was the St Crispin.

However, a further version of the same story names one of Henry V’s courtiers, rather than Henry V himself, as the beau of the ale-wife.

St Crispin 2014

The tenement for the property that is now called the St Crispin public house is believed to have been built in 1420 during the reign of Henry V (1413-1422).

Having originally been one of several farmhouses in the centre of the village, it formed part of the estate of the Nebynson family of Eastry, who settled there during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377).

The property was lived in by the lord of the manor and the earliest occupant of the house is recorded as Nathaniel Foysters, who resided there in 1493.

In 1625 the property was split from the estate and sold with seven acres of arable land to Clement Gardner, a farmer and shipping agent from Sandwich. He lived in and owned the property until his death in 1653.

In 1668, the property was sold to a brewer in Dover, including brewhouse, five wassails (drinking mugs), a mare, harness and saddle and 15 chickens.

In 1690 the owner of the property was granted a common ale and cider licence and the house became a registered but untitled ale house.

By 1712 it had become an ale establishment and it became known as The Crispin, after Saint Crispin and Saint Crispinian, who were the patron saints of shoemakers.

The word ‘Saint’ was not added to the name of the property until 1906, when Edward Minter became keeper.

In 1790, the Crispin became the post house where the mail was collected and sorted.

In more recent years, the St Crispin has continued trading as an inn. Food is an important part of the business and a dining room has been furnished. It is also a popular wedding venue.

It is owned by Enterprise Inns and in February this year lessees Jason Blown and Peter Walford took over.
