Named after the nearby Kett's Oak.

Address of Downham in 1864 & 1865.
In 1866 the inquest into the death of an elderly pedestrian was held here. He had been
killed by the actions of a millers horse & cart that had bolted along the Norwich
turnpike.Listed as a Beerhouse in Harrod & Co's Postal & Commercial directory
of 1868.
On 9th September 1873, the magistrates refused to re-new the licence
since the house did not appear to met the annual value as stated in the
1872 Licensing Act. The house was to be valued by the 16th September and
if of sufficient value, the licence would be granted.
(Minimum annual value given for other Norfolk houses in the
range £11 to £15)
Licence renewed upon application by Messrs. Cann & Co on Tuesday 16th
September 1873, since the valuation made by Mr. John Standley had confirmed
the house to be of sufficient value.
Morgans sales for 1960 were :-
68 barrels of beer
22 spirits. (gallons)
Temporarily closed 25th August 1969, but this became permanent under Watney Mann.
