Referenced in 1805 case of smuggling.

Richard Wiseman, of Edgefield Three Pigs was tried at the Old Bailey on Tuesday 8th December 1807 accused of obstructing certain excise-officers in execution of their duty, on the night of 20th October 1806, near Cawston WOODROW. The prisoner provided an alibi and was acquitted by the jury.

As Piggs Inn on Bryant's 1826 map.

It was reported Tuesday 8th November 1831 that James Dyball had died, age 86.
It was related that he had much intercourse with Norfolk smugglers in his early days. At one time he had looked after, for months, eighteen horses for one such character. On one occasion a Magistrate rode up to the house when there were twenty-four carts, laden with contraband spirits, ready to leave from his yard. The Magistrate remonstrated and asked whether he was not afraid of the revenue officers. "Not in the least," said Dyball as he pointed towards his house, " they are all in there, and dead drunk."
