Deeds from 1727 known to exist.

In 1830 carrier Abraham Woolsey departed at 10:00am every Tuesday and Thursday for Thetford.

In court Monday March 24th 1862, landlord Richard Clements was sued for the payment of £3 18s 10d. said to be due for work done and materials used in 1856 by J and W. T. Gidney when erecting the Corn Hall. Clements argued that he had permitted the liberties taken with his property, necessitated by the erection of the new building, on condition that the Directors of the Corn Hall would repair any damage to the Red Lion. His Honour said that on the information before him he could only award judgement on one item to the value of 9d, in favour of the plaintiff. The defendants costs of the day, including four witnesses and attorney, were allowed.

It was advised Saturday 2nd October 1875 that the sale of the house, advertised to be on Tuesday  5th October, would not take place since licensee Robert Clements had decided to carry on the business.


Address as Chancery Lane from 1904.
