Offered To Let - August 1788.
Apply at Day's Brewery, St. Martin's at Oak, Norwich.
Appears on Bryant's map of 1826.
On Monday 22nd February 1909 it was advised that the house contained six
rooms downstairs, six upstairs and a cellar. Public rooms were the
Smoke-room and the Club-room. Outside there were three Stables with
accommodation for sixteen horses. There was a Shed for covering a number
of carts. Several persons lodged at the Inn. A large amount of traffic
stopped at the Inn and the house was well conducted.
The house was said to be a good country inn, far superior to the Black
Horse or the Crown. Police-constable Howard, stationed at Bawdeswell,
confirmed that the Ram was used by waggoners and others, to a large
extent. There was also a good class custom. Farmers and cyclists used
the house, whilst tithe audits were held there.
The licence was renewed, but the magistrates considered Bawdeswell to be
over-supplied with public-houses.
