Frogmore in Devon is a small village situated on the main road between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, in the heart of the South Hams region. It lies at the head of Frogmore Creek, which is part of Salcombe’s estuary, and once had quite an active commercial life. It is an area of outstanding Natural Beauty and part of it lies in a Coastal Preservation Area, within an area of Special Scientific Interest.

Around 1826 John Trant owned and occupied Kings Tenement and the property was called the Globe. By 1833, it was an unlicensed beer house, with The Globe named as a Public House. John Trant’s wife took over in 1854 after his death, and their daughter Caroline was the licensed Victualler from 1857 (when we became The Globe Inn and was licensed to sell beer) until 1878.

In 1853 the turnpike road from Dartmouth to Kingsbridge opened, increasing passing trade. The only other pub was the Bridge Inn which closed around 1875.

Charles Marks-Stoneman became owner and landlord in 1883. In 1891, Michael Arundell was the innkeeper, in 1893 William Cook, and in 1902 Henry Stone. Henry died that year and the pub was run by his widow, Elizabeth (who died in 1931) and their sons, Eldred and Thomas. They and their father worked in the Frogmore Malthouse. A ‘Plymouth Company’ bought the Globe Inn in 1910 when Thomas took over the Globe in 1914, and Thomas Cross in 1919.

In 1920, William John Hanna bought the Globe, and by 1930, Mrs. S. Hanna owned it with Albert William Stanley Wakeham as the licensed Victualler. In 1930, he bought the Globe and was landlord until 1967.
