The Lynn District Ancient Order of Foresters was held here Thursday, 10th November 1853.

The first anniversary of the Ancient Order of Foresters, Court Prospect 2596, took place here on Tuesday 3rd October 1854. About sixty sat down to a well-provided repast, which gave great credit to the landlord, Mr. Nichols. The brethren spent a very pleasant evening together, with song, toast, and sentiment.

"A few friends" raised 10s for the Patriotic Fund, as reported 9th December 1854.
( A total of £2,179 13s 7½d had already been raised throughout Norwich before this donation, and many others, added some £250 )

Amongst the damage caused by the Great Gale of Tuesday 21st February 1860, part of the roof of the Farrier's Arms was taken off and landed in the church alley.
