How many 'pubs' (alehouses, inns and taverns) were there in England in 1577?

score:3

Accepted answer

Here's something that might serve as a reference...

Survey of inns, taverns and alehouses in England and Wales in 1577: National Archives SP 12/115-19. London, Bristol and Norwich are excluded and some other returns are patchy. R. Flenley (ed.), A Calendar of the Register of the Queen's Majesty's Council in the Dominion and the Principality of Wales ... 1569-91, Cymmrodorion Society Record Series 8 (1916) gives the figures for 7 Welsh counties and for Worcestershire.

Found at this site. Here's a link to the National Archives.
