Location also as at Little Witchingham.

On the morning of Monday 24th January 1814, at about 5:00 am, the house was found to be in flames and was almost totally destroyed before assistance could be procured. All the household furniture and goods of the honest man who kept the house, were destroyed. It was conjectured that a beam had caught fire in one of the chimneys. House named the BELL.

Named the PEACOCK ARMS in 1881 census and up until 1882.

Renamed the CANTERBURY ARMS in 1882.

Back to the BELL in 1901.

The Licence registers state:-
House closed - Licence not renewed.
