Our Beers
Brew Masters Tasting Notes: This beer as a sweet malt character, well balanced with a pleasing bitter after palate!
Twice Hung
William Booth was born at Hall End Farm in Beaudesert in 1776.
Booth was accused of murdering his brother John while revisiting Hall End on 19 February 1808, but was acquitted for lack of evidence. After the Napoleonic Wars, Booth converted the top floor of his farmhouse into a fortified workshop where he produced forgeries of banknotes, coins, and other material of monetary value.
Once his activities came to light, he was arrested, charged and found guilty on all counts and sentenced to hang. Booth's public execution in 1812 was bungled, and he fell through the scaffold's trap door to the floor. Within two hours, he was hanged again and died. He is buried in St Mary Church in Handsworth, but following a change of county boundary, his body was disinterred and reburied.
He was ’Twice tried, twice hung, and twice buried’
Perkins Prescription
Thomas Richard Perkins was the pharmacist in Henley from 1896 to 1945. He was actively involved in the town being a lay preacher at the Methodist Church and a trustee of the Henley Charities amongst other things.
He also had an avid interest in Railways and wrote numerous articles. In 1932 he completed the unique task of travelling over the whole railway system of the British Isles, some 22,000 miles.
"No one had done so before, with the curtailment of services under Beeching, no one will ever do so again."
