More about this scene

The King's Arms (left) is a fine example of a coaching inn and former posting house. Stables to the rear were reached through the archway leading from the town square. It is possible that the inn was licensed by Edward VI in 1548. Another royal connection is that Charles I is said to have stayed here at the time of the Battle of Naseby.

My relatives lived in Stow in the 1600's. George Churm married Anne Spurrior on the 29 Sept 1695 at Stow Church. George's father, George, was born at Stow in 1630; his father Lawrence was born in 1600 and married Anne(?) at Stow Church in 1620. Please contact me if you have any further info into the Churm, Spurrior ,Lawrence , Cairn or Webb families of Stow or Wyck Rissington.
