Jane Mills (nee Taylor) ran The Globe in 1923, not 1823! She was my Great Aunt and is buried in Alvington churchyard (N-E side) towards lych gate.

Hi I am new to this board, but was raised in Alvington. I am trying to find out some detail on the history of the Globe quickly! I know it is now Grade 11 listed, but want to try and find out its past uses. i know its been a pub and was up and running by 1805, but i also know at some time it was run as a hotel and am trying to find out details. My reason for asking (and the hurry) is that there is a planning application in with the forest of dean council to turn it into flats, and build some houses on the land attached to it and i think this would be a crying shame. objections to the application for planning have to be in by 25th August, so you can see why i am in a hurry to find out details.
Thanks Lottiy

On my Great Grandfathers death certificate of 1936 it gives his son Gilbert William Robins address as Globe Hotel.

I think he ran it in betwwen 1935 and 1939

I apologise slowhands.I think I was too hasty in my reply.You have certainly filled the gaps.
My first reaction was that there may have been others in the years not mentioned but I see what you mean.

Many thanks for all your good work.

I know from directories that in 1823 Miss Jane Taylor ran The Globe and in 1935 it was Frederick Bathurst Robbins.

I am trying to find the years when both these people began and ended their time there.
