THE CRIKETERS

Jamie Oliver's childhood home, a 16th century Country Inn which his parents run; called "The Criketers". Photo taken by Barbara Rogerson downloaded from her lovely lovely blog http://ramblingsfromanenglishgarden.blogspot.com/ On the origins of the word "Pub", I quote Barbara : "Pub is short for Public House. In centuries gone by they were mostly Inns for travellers where they could find food and rest and a place to rest their horses or change them if need be. Later many where places where people came to meet together to socialise as generally ordinary people did not entertain in their homes as they do now."
