The Globe at Wormley
Created 21 June, 2008
Constant references are found in the Manorial Rolls and in the Minutes of the Turnpike Trust to the Globe. The earliest known reference to a inn called the Globe is in 1636, when John Taylor mentions it in his popularly known as "Taverns in Ten Shire". In 1839 the landlord's name was William Wiseman, who also kept a grocers shop and was a 'dealer in sundries'. He was succeeded before 1853 by William Wills.
Next door to the Globe, was the White Horse, for which the earliest reference is 1704. It had as its sign the model of a prancing horse on a post outside it. William Woodward was licensee in 1839 and was still there in 1853. Both the Globe and the White Horse were demolished in 1890 when a new building was erected called Globe Hotel. This too closed as a public house in 1969 and was demolished in 1978.
