In “At the Sign of the King’s Head”, Ammon Wrigley tells the story of an old folks’ festival held at Dobcross on 28/8/1845, where 140 people (125 of them aged 77 years and upwards) dined at the Kings Head kept by Thomas Lawton and the Swan kept by Ben Bradbury. The inns “would be in stone and timber what the landlords were in flesh and bone, soaked with generous feasting…. I think of Tom Lawton and Bradbury on that dinner day in 1845, as two lusty kings of sirloin. Each would stand at the head of his table stripped to the shirt, with his sleeves rolled up above his elbows, and wouldn’t he slash hot platefuls from the mighty roast. Now and then he would rest for a moment and say, “By th’ Mass this is warm wark….”
