Just got in, hence the late (or early) posts, but I will join you in that tipple....or two.

Thanks for an entertaining evening Jamie! lol

Before it turns Sunday morning.....English History of the Bull Inn at Royston.....For greater interest attaches to the Bull Inn, even were it for it's association with Thomas Hobson.  The Cambridge carrier whom MIlton made famous. In the closing the 16th century, it appears to have an dubious reputation, for when Anthony Bacon came to live on Bishopgate street in 1594, his mother became exclusively anxioous on his account "fearing the Bull Inn in the neighborhood" It was for the house notable as the scene of many dramatic performances. That is was the recognized headquarters for the Cambridge Carriers...Hobson of course, was head of the faternity. He had flourished amazingly since he suceeded in his father's business. Despite his growing wealth and advanced years, Hobson continued his regular journey's to London, until the Plaque discontinued service for an time. (The Hobson family sponsored an George Lawson to colonial america in 1655..I have them also in the same data spelled as "Dodson"... he of course took out 1,000's of acres of land) Thomas Hobson, an contempary of Capt John Smith, 1608, slain in the 1622 Indian Massacure near Jamestown, Va,  he lived at what was called "The College Land".... to one day be designated for an college in Henrico Co., Virginia.
