On Monday 20th July 1903 the bench refused to temporarily transfer the licence from the (un-named) landlord to his wife in order to allow him to work all day leaving his wife in charge. |
Located to the north of the village, on the parish boundary.
It was here in 1876 that 46 year old Charlotte Oldfield (nee Blower) gave birth to her 9th child. One of her sons John (age 30 c1890), known as Jack, was caught poaching and this led to Charlotte loosing her licence. Jack became apprenticed to his elder brother James, who had set up as a butcher in Southwark. On Wednesday 5th August 1903, an application was made
for transfer of the beerhouse licence from the late Thomas Goddard to
Mr. W. W. Neave. At a previous hearing the request had been refused
since Mr. Neave would normally be absent from the house from 6:00am to
6:00pm and it was considered that he would have insufficient control of
the house. Mr. Neave had leased the house from the widow of the previous
tenant and was a resident-occupier. As a result of the previous concerns
about his control of the house, he had decided not to follow his
employment but to attend to the house himself. Licence considered unnecessary at the Annual Brewster Sessions, Monday 6th February 1905. Renewal to be considered at the adjourned meeting..... Licence provisionally granted at the Swaffham Licensing Sessions Monday5th February 1906 as reported in the Norfolk Chronicle 10th February 1906 - not found after this date.
