On Monday 27th December 1853, William Howell was charged with suffering beer to be consumed, in his house, on 5th December during the hours of divine service. At about 11:00 am Police-constable Dye had discovered several persons in the house and saw glasses removed from the table. Sampling the spillage, the constable determined the liquid to be beer. Before the magistrates it was said that the persons present were eating bread and cheese and no beer had been drawn. It was claimed that the liquid on the table was soap and water. The constable however was positive it was the real "John Barleycorn". Mr. Howell was fined £1 14s including costs.

Damaged by enemy action 19th August 1942.
