  2. MEDIEVAL INNS AND TAVERNS • Inns and taverns began to appear in the twelfth and thirteenth century in England but we not considered common until the fifteenth century. • Travelers that would come into town could find lodging in inns or could buy drinks in taverns.

  3. Medieval taverns • In a tavern scene it would be considered common sight for people to sing, gamble, or seek prostitution. • Both women and men were allowed in taverns since drinking was by far their favorite recreation. • In those times one could buy three gallons of beer, ale, or wine for one penny.

  4. Medieval taverns • Taverns rarely provided travelers with lodging or feasts for the night. • Most taverns were front rooms of peoples houses where they would brew ale and let others come and buy beer for profit.

  5. Medieval taverns • Due to spending all evening in a local pub, there were several fatal accidents that followed drunken visitors. • One mother was said to have accidently let her child slip from her lap into a boiling pot of milk and the child was mortally burned.

  6. Medieval inns • Unlike taverns which had a few rooms and a cellar full of wine, Inns had several rooms and building, enough to keep guests upstairs, separate rooms for the innkeeper and their family, a large drinking room, a kitchen, and a brew house. • There was also space in a warehouse for cargo and barns for the horses and storage.

  7. Monasteries sometimes built inns at the center of pilgrimage to attract wary travelers. Those travelers would suffice with a warm room and a mattress or some straw on the floor, and one would rarely find a comfortable bed to sleep on. Medieval inns
