THE
GEORGE INN
The first documentation found that mentions this lost Inn was in a deed
dated 29th May, 1770. In it, George Councer of Bloxham in the County of
Oxford sells to "Thomas Heath of Kenilworth" and “Joseph Betty of
Kenilworth" property in the vicinity of The Square. The deed refers to “all
that messuage or tenement with appurtenances situate lying and being in
Kenilworth aforesaid heretofore used as an Inn and then called or known by
the name or sign of the “George Inn”
Analysis of the rest of the deeds identifies the property as being divided
at the time of sale three parts, occupied by Thomas Heath, William Smith and
Samuel Steane. Resorting to a more or less contemporary plan kindly supplied
by Steven Wallsgrove, it shows that this property must be in the vicinity
marked on the accompanying plan as "G".
The deed also refers to the sale of land near Glasshouse Woods
