Sold by auction (at the ADAM & EVE, Carleton Rode), Wednesday 19th July 1837. Described as a Messuage, used as a Beerhouse, called the Plough, with yard and garden, in the occupation of Mr Samuel Austin.

It was reported to the magistrates at the Annual Licensing Session held 12th February 1907, that the only complaint over the previous year, regarding any house in the district, had been against the PLOUGH. There was however, no objection to licence renewal.
(Offence believed to have been keeping house open late at night .)

  The inquest into the death of Annie Catherine Chatten, the infant daughter of James and Mary Chatten was held at the Coffee House, Carleton Rode, on Thursday 17th September 1908. The child was the youngest of five and had been born the previous December. The body had been discovered in her cot by Mr. Chatten early in the morning of Tuesday 15th September, her throat had been cut. Mrs Chatten was later discovered partly submerged in the well, wearing a nightdress and one stocking. A pair of baby's socks were in her hand. She was recovered from the well and admitted that she had killed the child with a razor.
At the inquest the jury did not believe Mrs. Chatten was in a sound state of mind when she committed the act and found that the child came to her death by shock consequent upon a wound in her neck. They also found that Mary Chatten had feloniously and wilfully murdered her child.

Ian Dade - son of Ted Dade advises 31.08.2004:-
` The picture shows the interior of the bar as it was when I first lived there, some alterations being later made in the late 1950's or early 1960's.
On the extreme left may well be George Carver. Next with the cap and pipe is Harry Smith. He lived in the village and called at the pub in course of his collection of the Labour Party tote money. He sits next to Fred Chapman, who could often be persuaded to give a rendition of ``Suzannah's a funicle pig/sow '', a song never heard from anybody else! Self-accompanied by much snorting and whistling! Next to Fred it may well be Margaret Brooks, later to marry John Moore, and next to her is Enid Revell. '
