PITT's ARMS in 1795 & 1871
Elizabeth Ballard, widow, announced 12th & 22nd March 1794 that she would carry
on the business of her late husband.
John Howard, late of the
WHITE LION,
Holt, announced 17th January 1795 that he had taken the
PITT's ARMS.
John Howard - Described Saturday 17th May 1800 as an
innholder of Burnham Westgate and Bankrupt. However he was still in
occupation in June 1808 when the Estate of Burnham-Hall was auctioned.
Renamed 1811, after Captain Sir William Hoste.
(One of the captains under Lord Nelson
and one time owner of the Sandringham Estate.)
Parson Woodforde stayed 12th September 1787 and recorded the innkeepers
name as Ballard.
Conveyed between Edward Everard and Richard Sands in a
conveyance dated 4th March 1856. The Jolly Farmers at North Creake was
also included in the transaction.
In a notification published 24th December 1870, Benjamin Powley announced
that he had taken the Inn, but would still be carrying on his business as
Brewer and Innkeeper at the
THREE HORSE SHOES
INN, Roydon.
It was reported 6th September 1873 that following the bankruptcy of Mr.
Powley, the house had been closed. At the July 1873 Sessions the licence had
been transferred to Mr. Bales. On Saturday 30th August, the award of a
licence to Mr. Bales was opposed by the representative of Eyres & Co. who
had a lease on the property until Michaelmas. Messrs. Bullard had offered to
pay £15 per month to Eyres & Co, up to the expiry of lease, but
Eyres sought
payment of 8s 6d in the pound, on the debt that Powley owed them.
The Bench interceded in the argument and confirmed the licence.
Lynn Advertiser 3 May 1912
The death occurred at his residence, The Hoste Arms Hotel, on Tuesday of Mr.
John Wharton Womack. He came to Burnham at Michaelmas 1910 and has
been in ill-health for a considerable time. He was 63 years of age,
and the second son of the late Mr. John Womack of North Lopham.
Previous to coming to Burnham, Mr. Womack was licensee at East Harling.
He leaves a widow and five daughters and two sons for whom much sympathy
is felt.
The Household and Hotel of Mrs. Womack, was to be Sold by Auction,
Wednesday, 24th March 1926, since she was retiring from business.
The CAPTAIN SIR WILLIAM HOSTE,
formerly the HOSTE ARMS,
as reported October 1981.
Very popular and has many recommendations for fine food.
Accommodation also provided.
