Rebecca Musk reported the theft of one tumbler glass,
the property of Henrietta Musk, December 1870.
20th December 1870 : John Carter, Nehemiah Carter and George Henry
Denmark, all of Great Ellingham, were found guilty of the crime and each
sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment, with hard labour.
(Mrs) H Musk is only identified in 1872 & 1877 directories
as a licensed victualler, no name of house or location is given.
The reversion sold for £220 at auction Saturday, 8th September 1883, to
Mr. Robert Self.
Although awarded a full licence in 1867, the house is only recorded
under beer retailers in 1922.
On Friday 10th March 1939 the licence was transferred to
the NEW
INN, Watton.
The brewers confirmed that George Moore would be allowed to remain at the
house, if he wished and would receive as much as if the house had been
closed by compensation.
Alfred E. H. Lee, outside manager for Morgans Brewery, said that there would
still be ample licensed facilities in Attleborough and there was another
house about a mile from the Royal Oak. "If people have to go a mile for a
drink, what is that? Quite a nice little exercise".
George Moore died in 1941.
His daughter Mabel continued living at the house until she passed away in
the 1970's
