1930's (J.H. Lawn licensee)

Robert Colman appears as a victualler at Ashwellthorpe in an Agreement of Sale, dated 22nd September 1829.
A farmhouse, barn, other buildings and parcels of land were agreed to be purchased for the sum of £742, by William Wigglesworth of Wymondham. The property was in Wicklewood and in the occupation of William Breeze.

Part of the estate of St Georges Brewery, Norwich. Sold by auction 18th August 1864 to Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs.
Freehold sold by Y,C&Y Partnership to Y,C&Y Company as detailed in document dated 27 November 1897, for completion 01.02.1898.

Percy Thompson was licensee in the summer of 1959, following Bob Howes.
At that time weekly sales were one pin of bitter (36 pints) and one kilderkin of mild (144 pints) . A small  amount of bottled beer made up the trade. Some rum was consumed but that was usually after time on a Friday night!
At the time there were no main drains and the toilets were buckets.
(Common throughout the county - some private dwellings had such facilities still in use in the 1990's)
After three months Mr. & Mrs. Howes moved on.

No change recommended at
