More about this scene
The George and Dragon is first mentioned as a tavern in the court book of St Albans Abbey in 1279. The half-timbered building dates from the 17th century. In 1967, 'Trencherman', writing for 'Hertfordshire 'Countryside magazine, reported that the bill for a three-course meal for two cost £3 2s 8d (£3.18), and that the main course of two(!) rainbow trout cooked in butter with almonds was priced at 11s 6d (62p). The half-bottle of red wine cost 4s 6d (42p). But bear in mind that a meal there in 1650 would have cost about 6d (2p).
