At the Adjourned Licensing Sessions, Monday 28th February 1927, both the
owners, the Raynham Estate and brewers, Steward & Patteson, had no
objection to closure. Owing to the isolation of the house and poor
trade, it had not been possible to replace the last occupant who had
left in October 1926. Since that date the house had been closed.
