Named the WHITE HORSE in Pigot's 1830 directory.
Note that Bullards records state that the BELL was also known previously as the WHITE HORSE.
It is evident that the Bell was known from at least 1798. It seems likely that after the original White Horse was renamed the Bell, this house took on the name of White Horse.....

Lot No. 9 in sale of Bircham & Sons Reepham Brewery, Saturday 8th June 1878. Then let to William Neale at an annual rent of £11.
Containing : - Tap and Parlour, Kitchen, Pantry and Wash House. Also a Parlour with Cellar underneath, 3 Bedrooms with shelving rooms behind; Yard with side gates in which is a large Club Room with 9 Pin Ground beneath, Wood House and Stable with Loft above
Copyhold to the Manor of Cawston.



The WHITE HORSE and the BELL were both purchased by Bullards in 1878.

The licence was not renewed at the Aylsham Petty Sessions, as reported in the Norfolk Chronicle 10th February 1906.

At the sessions 21st June 1906 it was heard that the Lamb was 131 yards away in the same street. The house was said to be in a bad state with the club room in a dilapidated state and used as a lumber room.
Superintendent Palmer said that the police had no control over the house as far as supervision was concerned. It was pointed out that the Superintendent had been in charge of the division for six years and the matter of supervision had never been raised before.
It was confirmed that Mr. Ellis had held the licence for fifteen years and his wife had lived there for forty years. The house had four rooms downstairs for public use and five bedrooms were for the use of lodgers. Trade was 100 barrels and 32 gallons of spirits a year. There was stabling for six horses.
The Bullards representative said that they would have put the house into good order but the ongoing refusal of the justices to renew the licence had thwarted such plans. It was a doing a nice little trade and used by a class of customer not catered for in the other Cawston houses.
Licence renewal again refused.

Referred for Compensation 10th June 1907.
