Named as BELL in Pigot's 1830 directory.
Lot 16 in sale of St Martins Brewery

Later offered for sale July 1797.
Offered for sale 6th March 1819 as the
BELL.
Lot 2 in sale which included 6 other licensed houses about the county.
Lot No. 8 in sale of Bircham & Sons Reepham Brewery Saturday 8th June

Containing : - Parlour, Tap, Bar & Pantry, Cellar, & Kitchen, 4 Bedrooms and large
Club Room, Yard with Stabling and large Workshop and Garden beyond. Copyhold to the Manor
of Cawston.
Bullards documents record that the house was formerly known as the
CHEQUERS
and later the WHITE HORSE,
before being the BELL.
This is confirmed in a document dated 7th
June 1798
which shows John Patteson of Norwich as being the owner.
The property is described as including stable, outhouses, yards, orchards
and also the adjoining cottage.
Others mentioned in the document (including past licensees ?) are :-
Matthew Austin, Richard Baker, Charles Fiske, Penelope Fiske, Elizabeth
Fosdyke, Nicholas Holbeck, Robert Jeykel, Daniel Jones, James Mayer,
William Pigge, Elizabeth Rackham, John Sexton, Hamond Towell, Thomas
Tuddenham (see 1830) and William Turner.
However another house also traded as the
WHITE HORSE
at the
same time as the BELL and
both were conveyed
to Bullards 26th November 1878.
Closure of EITHER the
BELL or the
LAMB agreed at the First Joint Committee Meeting of Bullards and S&P
29th May 1962.
Sales for the BELL
given as 94 barrels of beer.
The tenant was said to be 46 years of age and to have been at the house for two years.
House remembered as two separate rooms about
central corridor.
Today the corridor is gone, but the house still maintains a comfortable `traditional'
ambience. One of the beams in the bar ceiling bears the date of 1673.
