Description: | A coaching inn on the Great West Road between Murrell Green and Basingstoke. It is conventionally dated to 1653. It is of two storeys, timber-framed with brick infilling. The upper part oversails on curved brackets with herringbone brick infilling. The roof is tiled (Hampshire Treasures).
The engraving comes from William Hone, The Year-book of Daily Recreation, although which issue is not given. The accompanying text refers to the connection of the inn with 'Jack the Painter' (otherwise James Aitken, James Hill or James Hind), infamous as the arsonist who set fire to Portsmouth naval dockyard on 7 December 1776. It was said that the kitchen of the Raven had been his temporary residence. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | inn building Great West Road pub timber-frame Old Raven House James Hind The Raven public house Jack the Painter London Road James Aitken James Hill coaching inn | Temporal: | start=1830-01-01; end=1850-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | William Hone; W A D Jun | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
