The Old Cock Inn, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

From the plaque by the door - The Old Cock Inn has a long history as it was first licensed for the sale of alcohol in the reign of Queen Anne in 1712. Then it sold cider, ale and perry made from crushed and fermented pears. A powerful brew called Lambswool made from roasted apple pulp mixed with ale was also popular.

The church window on the first floor came from the medieval Church of St. Nicholas, which was also in Friar Street on the corner of Winnetts Lane. It was damaged by fire in 1291 and in the Civil War and was cleared from the site in the 19th century.

The carved head with a frog emerging from its mouth is reputed to represent Judge Jeffreys who is said to have held one of his assizes here after the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion in 1685. Those found guilty of supporting the rebellion were either sentenced to death or transported to the West Indies.
