Formerly known as
PEROSIES.
Recorded 1681 when the churchwardens contracted the rebuilding of the church tower to Mr.

According to
"Whatever happened to the Half Moon" - Terry Mayes & David Neville
2006 - ISBN 0954737229, the house later known as the
QUEENS
ARMS.
According to Charles Candler in his
"Notes on the Parish of
Redenhall with Harleston", published 1896, the site of Perosies,
later the Half Moon, became the property of Thomas Wagstaff who
in turn sold it to The Norwich Joint Stock Bank. It was then sold to
the East of England Bank, which was succeeded by the Provincial
Banking Corporation, which became the London and Provincial Bank in
1870.
