Description

The Oxenham Arms Inn, located in South Zeal, in Devon, England, was built in the twelfth century by monks. It was first licensed as a pub in the year 1477, making it one of the oldest pubs in England. A lunch of a Ploughman's sandwich with fine English Stilton Cheese, and a glass of Guinness in a twelfth century inn was a real treat that ordinary Americans rarely get to enjoy! Thanks for your kind comments and faves on the Stonehenge image. Still trying to catch up on comments. I'm going through some difficult times right now, so I appreciate the well wishes even if I'm not consistent these days.

Lol Great image and Mood... You need a knife and fork for the Guinness, but there is nothing to beat a proper Stilton cheese with the ploughmans
