Summary "The Old Inns of Old England, Volume 2" by Charles G. Harper is a beautifully illustrated historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The text presents a detailed exploration of notable old inns throughout England, celebrating their architectural beauty, storied pasts, and cultural significance. Harper invites readers to appreciate these establishments not just as places of lodging but as vital components of British heritage, often steeped in local traditions and histories. The opening of the work begins with an evocative reflection on the charm and character of England's ancient inns. Harper notes the difficulty of classifying these establishments, emphasizing that many are beloved not for their historical significance but for their warmth and beauty. He specifically highlights the "Lygon Arms" in Broadway, showcasing its picturesque stone façade and rich traditions. The text is rich with anecdotes, detailing the inns' architectural features and the stories associated with notable figures who frequented them. Overall, the beginning conveys a sense of nostalgia for the past and a reverence for the enduring appeal of these historic hostelries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
