For Sale by Auction Monday 9th July 1810, with One Acre of Land. In possession of James Siggoe, the Proprietor.

At the Licensing Session Tuesday 2nd February 1909 it was heard that the previous landlord had been convicted of selling intoxicating liquors without a licence, but the had been transferred to another licensee (Mr. Wright?). It was further reported that alterations were being carried out without the permission of the authorities. A passage was being constructed from the house to a new billiard room.
The Bench required the presence of the owners representative at the next meeting.

At the adjourned licensing meeting of Tuesday 2nd March 1909, a complaint was made that structural alterations had been carried on without deposition of plans or permission from the Bench.
Stables had been converted into a spacious billiard room to replace the old billiard room, which had existed for some 15 years, on the second floor of the house. The room on the second floor planned to be a bedroom.
The Bench accepted apologies from Messrs. Lacon & Co, of Cambridge, for their ignorance of the Act of 1904 and allowed the changes, on provision that the old billiard room was done away with for drinking purposes.

191 barrels of beer sold in final year of trading.

It was confirmed at a meeting 29 October 1964 that the house had closed since the previous meeting of 22 July 1964.

A letter from S&P to the Licence Registrar dated 13 January 1966 states ` We wish to voluntarily surrender the licence'.

Other documents confirm the house in fact closed 21 October 1964.
