IN SAME BUILDING
“PUB” AND VICARAGE. That it possesses “a unique vicarage” is the claim made by Hilton-in-Cleveland, a tiny village near Middlesbrough, England, where, the vicarage and the local “pub” are in the same building. The inn-vicarage is a large, detached house. The vicar’s half is ivy-covored. On the other half a board informs visitors that it is the Falcon Inn. During the week, while the vicar, the Rev C. B. D. Farrow, is preparing his sermon in one room, Mr. Charles Robinson, the innkeeper, is drawing beer for his customers in an adjoining room. Neither Mr. Farrow nor Mr Robinson thinks there is anything strange in the position. “We have simply got used to it,” Mr. Robinson declared. “It is my job to sell beer, and the vicar’s to get people to church.” Mr Farrow’s predecessor, Canon Kyle, achieved fame by buying the village inn at Carlton-in-Cleveland, so that he could close it on Sundays.
