spiritis

Updated: May 6, 2025

Gray's Inn was not an ordinary public house, and beyond the signboard announcement that "Spiritis and aile is retailed here" there was little to indicate its commercial character. The parlour was a large room with a window at each end one facing the street, the other being so situated that the seamen sitting at the large centre table could look out at their ships riding at anchor across the bay.
