Built in 12:20, badly damaged in 13:38 during a raid by the French
In 1494 the building was for the first time converted into a public house after being bought by brewer Rowland Johnson who named it Bere House or Brew House.
Johnson not only sold drink but also started brewing his own and subsequently set up the city's first brewery.
Port books of the day record the importation of his brewing equipment and brewing hops from his native town in what is now Holland.
In 1620 the pub would have been passed many times by the Pilgrim Fathers on their way to the Mayflower, which sailed its maiden voyage to the New World from the bottom of Bugle Street.

Ivy Duke (9 June 1896 – 8 November 1937) was a British actress. Born in Kensington, London, as Ivy Elsie Duke, she was already an established stage actress, appearing regularly in the light musical confections associated with George Edwardes’ Gaiety Theatre, when she began her film career in 1919. She took part among others in the movies The March Hare (Frank Miller, 1919) and The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton (Arthur Rooke, 1919), produced by George Clark for Lucky Cat Productions, and distributed by Ideal Films. Already in her third film, I Will (Kenelm Foss, 1919), she was paired with Guy Newall, who earlier on had co-written her first film The March Hare. Late 1919 Lucky Cat Productions became George Clark Productions, and Stoll Pictures - the biggest renter in the 1920s - became the distributor. The company founded its own studio complex at Beaconsfield.
After a period of being the star couple directed by others, Guy Newall became also Duke's director. In the 1920s Duke reached the apex of her film career, taking part in productions like Testimony (Newall, 1920), The Bigamist (Newall, 1921), Beauty and the Beast (Newall, 1922) and Fox Farm (Newall, 1922). In 1922 Duke married Newall too, but seven years after the marriage ended in divorce. Their last film together was The Starlit Garden (Newall, 1923).
In her last films, Duke worked with other directors and male leads: The Great Prince Shan (A.E. Coleby, 1924) with Sessue Hayakawa, Decameron Nights (Herbert Wilcox, 1924) with an international cast including Lionel Barrymore and Werner Krauss, and, with an interval of several years, her last film: the Anglo-German co-production A Knight in London (Lupu Pick, 1928) with Lilian Harvey, cinematography by Karl Freund, and edited by Michael Powell. The female lead was for Harvey, Duke played her mother. It's all about a woman who accidentally awakes in a man's hotel bed. With the rise of the sound film, Ivy Duke retired from the film business. Few years later, she died at the age of only 41.
As the site At the Pictures writes: "A reasonable number of their films survive in the BFI National Archive, and several have been screened at the British Silent Film Festival over the years, including Fox Farm from the novel by Warwick Deeping about the romance between a gypsy girl and a blinded farmer, Boy Woodburn from the novel by Alfred Oliphant about a lady horse trainer and her romance with a penniless banker, and Maid of the Silver Sea from the novel by John Oxenham about romance and murder in a Breton fishing community (actually filmed on Sark). Perhaps the most widely seen is The Lure of Crooning Water {...]. In the Lure of Crooning Water Ivy Duke plays a London stage actress who, suffering from nervous collapse goes into the countryside for a ‘rest cure’ and amuses herself while there by seducing the married farmer (played by Newall) who has been acting as her host. (this reminds a bit of Murnau's Sunrise] The Garden of Resurrection, from the novel by E. Temple Thurston reverses this pattern – this time it is Newall who is suffering from extreme depression brought on by his sense of his own ugliness. He goes for a ‘rest cure’ visiting some friends who live surrounded idyllic garden in rural Ireland (although the film was shot in Cornwall). There he meets Ivy Duke….

I thought it fit to re-post this photo of 'DUKE' , who died this last week ! An era of the really big old tuskers has come to an end ...
He probably reached the age of 55 years
The carcass was found by a ranger about 5 km from Croc Bridge
The remains (skull , tusks , etc) will probably be put on display somewhere in the park at a later stage
See my Set , "Duke, Last of the Magnificent Tuskers" , that I took just before he lost his tusks (2007)!
I hope and beleive that nature will be allowed to take its cause in developing more of these magnificent animals !!
RIP old big guy .........
(PS Thank you Oom Rus , for the comments and FAV's)

Duke was the second wife of actor Guy Newall (1885–1937), a British stage and, from 1915, also screen actor, who after World War I, formed a production company, Lucky Cat Films (which later became George Clark Productions, based at Beaconsfield), in conjunction with producer and cameraman George Clark. He directed many of his own films from 1920, also occasionally sidelining as a scenario writer. He often co-starred with Duke.

202/366: Duke University Chapel
On my visit to Duke University our first stop was by the Duke University Chapel which was constructed from 1930 to 1932, the Chapel seats about 1,800 people and stands 210 feet tall. It was a beauty to see the inside. When I entered there were a group of people getting ready to hear a concert.. I pulled out my tripod and setup my camera and was soon visited by a Chapel employee telling me that tripods are tripping hazards and I must put it away. I used my charm and said I would be quick and that seemed to appease her for a few minutes… I quickly snapped several photos of which, this one is my favorite. It truly shows the age, size and charm of the Chapel.
The 77 Chapel stained-glass windows were designed and constructed over a three-year period by 15 artists and craftsmen, including S. Charles Jaekle of G. Owen Bonawit, Inc. They are constructed from over one million pieces of glass, imported from England, France, and Belgium and varying in thickness between 1/8 and 3/16 inch. The largest window measures 17.5 by 38 feet, and the smallest measures just 14 by 20 inches.
I would love to revisit the Chapel when an event is not on going in order to get more symmetric photos.

One of the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways she worked between 1956-79. Built at Harland & Wolff, Belfast in 1956 she was used as a passenger ferry and cruise ship. She was moved to Llannerch-y-Mor on 10 August 1979 and had a short-lived use as a 'Fun Ship' howver the only road to the ship goes under the main line railway bridge which is about 6ft 6in high! At present there are plans to turn it into an open air Art Gallery hence the graffiti painted on the exterior. The interior is said to be in good condition
