** Mrs M A E Arnold was given notice to quit the Beerhouse by Michaelmas next, Old Style in notice dated 2nd April 1886, signed by Sarah Ann Woodrow.
H. Whitbread of St Margaret's Brewery responded 3rd April 1886, complaining of short notice.

Mrs Sarah Ann Woodrow, wife of David Woodrow, farmer, leased the house to Mrs Mary Elizabeth Arnold, for a period of 7 years at an annual rent of £38.
The lease documents have an attachment regarding a maintenance clause on the property, the heading reads
` F R WHITBREAD - BREWERY - NORWICH'
and is signed by F R Whitbread.)
First draft of lease is dated 1st September 1886.

Offered To Let, February 1892 - Apply F.R. Whitbread, St. Margaret's Brewery.

Again offered To Let, August and September 1894 - Apply F.R. Whitbread, St. Margaret's Brewery.

 
On Saturday 27th October 1894, it was reported that the licence of the Fox & Hounds had been transferred on Monday 22nd October, from Mr. W. Baker to Jesse Green.

On Saturday 10th November 1894, it was reported that the licence of the Fox & Hounds had been transferred on Monday 5th November, from Mr. W. Baker to W. Leonard Self.

On Saturday, 23rd May 1896, it was reported that Jesse Green had sold beer to a drunken person. He had only been at the house for a little over a year, and intended leaving at Michaelmas.

<So it appears that the licence of Jesse Green was not confirmed at the Licensing Sessions that followed the October 1894 Petty Sessions. Mr. Self also seems to have had a very short stay at the Fox & Hounds.>
 

 

Charles Pearce owned the Crown Brewery, it was the property of COOPER BROWN & Co by the time of sale to S&P in 1922
