The history of pubs in a north Norfolk town is explored in our newest book which was launched in November 2018.
The Aylsham Local History Society has produced ‘A New History of Aylsham Public Houses’, covering all the known and many newly discovered sites of licensing premises in the town, including alehouses, beer houses and inns. The book is a revision of the work published by Elizabeth Gale in 2001 and also looks at the important role of women in the business.
It has been printed by local company Barnwells of Aylsham and launched at the Town Hall, which included a short talk introducing the volume by William Vaughan-Lewis, co-author of ‘Aylsham, A Nest of Norfolk Lawyers and Hearths and Heaths: Aylsham’s Dispersed Settlements’.
