Earliest mention 1689
~
In a notice dated 23rd January 1793 it was stated that the Estate and
Effects of Philip Heaton, innkeeper, had been assigned to William Roofe
and Thomas Gunton. All creditors were to attend the house of Edmund Rice
Wade, the Unicorn, on Friday 15th February 1793, to accept such a
composition as the Trustees were able to pay and to sign discharges for
their particular demands. Any persons not attending would be excluded
from such dividend as arisen by the sale of the said Estate and Effects.
Isaac Grey, a stonemason, married Miss Maria Wade, daughter of
Edward Wade, of the Unicorn Inn on Thursday 8th November 1810.
~
Sold by Coltishall Brewery in sale 14 - 17th September 1841
(Lot No 95)
~
On Monday 12th July 1858, Mr. Hill, spirited landlord of the Unicorn,
prepared a substantial cold collation and tea for the bowling teams. He
also provided the prize of a pair of silver-mounted drinking horns.
The extraordinary continuance of fine weather having meant that the
three greens in the town had received a great accession of company and
produced some excellent playing.
A bowls competition was held here Monday 22nd August 1864. Confectioner
Richard Laxen, of Aylsham, won the handsome plated teapot provided by Mr.
Hill of the Unicorn Inn.
So in spite of Mr George Wells being given as licensee from at least 1863,
it seems William Hill was still in residence.
~
At about noon on Tuesday 30th August 1864 the twelve year old son of Mr.
Wells, licensee of the Unicorn, was driving a cart loaded with sacks of
coal. He was involved in a collision with the cart of Mr. F. Copeman
which was proceeding in an opposite direction. Thrown from his cart, the
young Mr. Wells suffered apparent severe injury the cart passed over his
side. He was immediately carried home.
~
Conveyed by William Johnson Jennis Bolding (Weybourne Brewery) to Steward &
Patteson 11th October 1897.
~
Recorded in S&P records as one of 12 houses purchased 03.08.1929 for total sum of
£17,820.00 (Average £1485.00 per house) (Assume previously Leasehold?)
