1996

A meeting of landowners took place at the BELL on Tuesday 11th September 1781 and the BELL is again named in a Conveyance dated July 1784, from William Henry Hinsby to Jeffrey Warren.

On Wednesday 9th May 1787 fire broke out in the adjoining house of the Widow Caddys. The flames spread to the CROWN.  Innkeeper William Jessup (Leather-cutter and shoemaker)  lost his furniture and part of his trading stock. The premises were not insured.

According to Cann & Clarke documentation dated 26th May 1876 the house was previously known as the BELL, although recorded as the CROWN by 1787.


All the Household Furniture and Effects were to be Sold by Auction, Monday, 6th July 1896, since Mr. Barnard was leaving the Inn.
Items included Chairs, Tables, 2 American Clocks, Bagatelle Board, Fenders and Fire-irons, 1 dozen Spittoons, Cutlery, Beds, Copper Boiler, &c. &c.
