This Is A New Release Of The Original 1913 Edition.
The Englishman of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, especially of the latter, is seen to have exercised
considerable zeal in creating substitutes for his home, namely by
establishing a vast number of taverns, inns, clubs, gardens and
coffee houses. Those which already have existed in \"Old London\"
are described in this volume. Originally published in 1909.

No evidence is available to establish the actual date when the
Tabard was built; Stow speaks of it as among the "most ancient" of
the locality; but the nearest approach to definite dating assigns
the inn to the early fourteenth century. One antiquary indeed fixes
the earliest distinct record of the site of the inn in 1304, soon
after which the Abbot of Hyde, whose abbey was in the neighbourhood
of Winchester, here built himself a town mansion and probably at
the same time a hostelry for travellers. Three years later the
Abbot secured a license to erect a chapel close by the inn. It
seems likely, then, that the Tabard had its origin as an adjunct of
the town house of a Hampshire ecclesiastic.
