Inside the 754-year-old pub built over a church crypt and graveyard

The building first became a pub back in 1269

Built over a church crypt and graveyard, The Victoria pub might just be one of the most unique in the country. The oldest pub in Chester, the Victoria is neatly tucked on Eastgate Row in the iconic city centre.

As reported in CheshireLive, the pub shares a wall with St Peter's Church, the site of the Principia, the administrative building in Roman times.

Opposite one side of the bar, tall and narrow booths made of dark mahogany and ironwork in floral patterns will fit just two people each, with a semi-circular table squeezed in between them, just big enough to stick two pints on.
