The Royal Standard was built in 1793 by local blacksmith William Pearce. The Inn was built on a piece of waste ground owned by the Enys Estate with a value set at £5.5s. This however was waived as “Mr Pearce had erected a substantial property”.
The large first floor room has through the years been used as a School Room, a Picnic Room and for village meetings.
Beer was brewed on the premises and there was stabling for horses. There was also a skittle alley.

No - this is not Dave and Bobbie. This is John James Newton Andrews who possibly owned the pub at the turn of the century. Do you know anything about his family? He was married to Kathryn Andrews (ne Harber) and the child is Vera Cathleen Sophia Andrews. Can you confirm this information or do you have more?
