FAMOUS OLD ENGLISH TAVERN
Jack Straw's Castle on Hampstead
Heath Has Many Attractions for
the Visitor.

Jack Straw's castle on Hampstead
heath, which Ia mourning the death OF
it's landlord Is one OF those rather nu-
merous inns whose claims to honor
rest more on legend than on solid
fact II Is true that every Dickensian
goes there at least once in his life and
there is solid warrant for the pilgrim
age on the authority Of John Forster.
In 1887 Dickens wrote to him propos-
ing winter tramp over the heath,
with the added attraction OF Il know
a good Gus there where we can have
red hot chop for dinner and a glass
OF good wine" Forster adds that this
was the first OF many happy meetings
at Jack Straws castle. But the story
that Dickens often stayed there has
not the same authority.
The other Jack Straw legend Is that
the peasant leader built fort there,
OF which II can only be said that the
house is apparently built on an ancient
earthwork. whoever was its architect
The first reference to the castle Is In a
mention OF horse race on the heath
