 Advertised 13th August 1785 - To be Let or Sold. With proper Stables, Yard and Garden. Inquire of Mr. Back, Cawston; Mr. Benjamin Leeder, Arminghall; or Mr. Robert Back, Land Steward, Norwich. Between 100 and 150 persons gathered here on 24th November 1830 with the purpose of breaking machines. The mob included George Howes (23), Benjamin Leamon (22) and William Dove (21) who were indicted Wednesday 5th January 1831 for damaging the threshing machine owned by Mr. John Bond of Cawston. ( At these sessions, 169 others were charged with similar offences which had occurred across the County ) Howes was the first to strike the machine, Leamon the second. Dove had come to the parish and persuaded others to go. Mr. Bond said he would not allow the accused to break the machine, but would get his carpenters to dismantle it and pledge not to use it again. The Chairman, in summing up, said the willingness of the owner to dismantle the machine showed the effectiveness of concession, no doubt done from laudable motives, but they were motives of weakness and to be regretted. All three were found Guilty. No sentences were passed on the day. On 19th February 1831 it was advised that George Howes had been sent to the Hulks at Portsmouth for a term of 14 years and William Dove had been sent for 7 years. (No mention yet found of Mr. Leamon) Owned by the Coltishall Brewery until sold 1841. Advertised June 1861 - To Let with Immediate Possession. Apply Messrs. Steward, Patteson & Co. |
