Who was the Landlord at The Red Lion in 1782?

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Dear Sir or Madam, For a while I have been dealing with Karl Philipp Moritz, a German writer who travelled through England in 1782 (http://hp-plass.jimdo.com). From June 22nd to June 23rd he stayed in Nettlebed. In all probability the inn where he lodged was The Red Lion. Moritz states that the innkeeper was called Illing. Could you acknowledge that a man named Illing ran The Red Lion in June 1782? If not, I would be grateful for information who could answer my question. In advance, I express my thanks for your efforts. Regards, Hans-Peter Plaß hanspeter.plass@gmail.com ...

New Community Noticeboard

It is open to the elements, so best to either laminate, or use a plastic wallet to protect any posters etc. ...

Are you passionate about your area?

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BECOMING A PARISH COUNCILLOR? If you live or work in or near the Parish and would like to make a real difference to the local community and environment, now is a good time to consider becoming a councillor. WHAT EXPERTISE DO PARISH COUNCILLORS NEED? The most important thing that Parish councillors need is enough time and enthusiasm to get things done. The Council has a strict code of conduct but a fair amount of flexibility in deciding what it should do. So members need to be proactive and identify issues and gaps that really matter and how to tackle them - particularly important now that District and County resources are being stretched thinner. At Nettlebed Parish Council there are 8 seats (2 seats are currently vacant). If you would like more information, please contact parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk / tel: 01491 614815 The next Parish Council meeting is on Weds, 6th Feb at 7.30pm - click here to see the agenda.        ...
