Full Description

House, marked Ordnance Survey map as 'Rummer Inn'. Brick (whitewashed) with two very fine shaped gables. 17th or early 18th century. Modern additions on ground floor.
E. Rose (NAU), 8 October 1975.

(S1) in file.

The name (that of a type of drinking glass) is said to be unique, but in 1999 there is a public house of that name in Cardiff.
Compiled by E. Rose (NLA), 20 August 1999.

In fact there were several inns of this name in Britain; it derives from the Dutch 'Roemer' a drinking glass.
E. Rose (NLA), 20 November 2006.
