Church_House_Inn_Stoke_Gabriel

The Church House Inn, Church Walk, at Stoke Gabriel, Devon TQ9 6SD around 1974. The parish church of Stoke Gabriel (St. Mary and St. Gabriel) continues to own the pub at the opposite end of Church Walk to the church itself. It was formerly the Church House, a meeting venue for the parish in regard to both ecclesiastical and secular matters. Up until the first half of the 17th century, it was used at festival occasions, especially at Whitsun, to sell ale that had been brewed by the churchwardens, a fund-raising exercise which was both popular and successful but which eventually died out with the rise of Puritanism. Today, the premises are leased by the church to the tenant on a commercial basis.In this particular photo of 1974, hikers are sat outside drinking beer from handled glasses and consulting their maps while a local passes, seemingly oblivious of them.
