Hi,
I know this post is quite old. But in the hood it reaches someone in the group. I'm not related to any of the people you are looking at. But we are the current owners of the Old Royal Oak in Halkyn. We have alot of the old deeds and information that came with buying this old property. There was a lot more that the previous owners showed me, but they were getting divorced and most of that stuff disappeared with one or the other partners. We have dug up bottles that have been dated around 1890 when it was still a pub. They obviously did t believe in recycling as every time we dig somewhere close to the house we find glass and earthen ware.
