It was in 1916, taken from the Herts Mercury, that Mr L Phipps was disclosed as being the proprietor of the New Star Inn, Wormley. This was at a time when McMullens AK Ale sold at 27 shillings for 18 gallons, 13 shillings and 6 pence for 9 gallons, and 6 shillings and 9 pence for 4 and a half gallons. This equates to 2 pence and a farthing per pint.
Mr Phipps’ descendant, Mr Arthur L.J.Phipps, is currently living in Hoddesdon.
