The pub: it's been part of our landscape since time immemorial... hasn't it? And it's as English as the Cotswolds or the Yorkshire Dales... isn't it? Was there ever a time when there were no pubs?

These are just some of the questions Merrie England: The Medieval Roots of the Great British Pub seeks to explore.
