Offered by Eyres for sale by auction 22nd July 1878,
as a Copyhold Pubic House.

On Friday 3rd March 1905, it was heard that the house stood on the four cross roads leading to Lexham, Wellingham, Mileham and Dereham. It had four public rooms and stable accommodation for three horses. The landlord was also a jobbing coachman.
It was 160 yards from the BULL, 332 yards from the KINGS ARMS and 596 yards from the NEW INN. 150 or 200 persons lived within 200 yards. The Bull was a larger house and used by a different class of customer.
Mr. Southgate said that he had been at the house for twelve months and apart from being a coachman he could make a living from the house, selling two barrels of beer and a gallon of spirits every week. The house was used by the working class.
For Morgans Brewery it was said that there were three times as many dwelling-houses near the Green Dragon as there were against the other houses. Yearly sales were 90 barrels of beer and 60 gallons of spirits.

 Objection to the renewal of licence was made on Friday 16th February 1906.
