NORTON ST. PHILIP

Norton St. Philip is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.

In the thirteenth century some land near to the village was given to Carthusian monks and the nearby priory was completed in 1232. The monks were responsible for the building of the village's most famous landmark - The George Inn.

The George is thought to have been built in 1223 and is almost certainly the oldest continuously licensed hostelry in England.

On June 27th 1685 the ill-fated Duke of Monmouth made the Inn his headquarters and defeated an advance guard of the Royalist army in a skirmish nearby. The Duke had a reward of £1,000 on his head and an attempted assassination took place while he was in the Inn.

In June 1668 Samuel Pepys dined at the George, together with his wife and servants.

Today the Inn continues to offer hospitality to the traveller within its bars and restaurant.

From the rear of the George Inn there is a fine view across the cricket field to the Church of St. Philip and St. James. The church was completed in the late thirteenth century and contains some fine carvings and delightful stained glass.
