Lot No. 17 (of 34) of the Estate of Thomas Allday Kerrison, a bankrupt. Then in occupation of Mr. Doughty. Sale to be held Saturday 10th June 1809.

John Doughty had about 10 Acres of Turnips for sale at the Dove, February 1812.

On Tuesday 1st June 1824, two men from Norwich, Fenn and Campling, fought a `pitched battle', near the Dove. It was thought that about 3,000 spectators witnessed the 76 rounds which terminated in favour of Fenn. Campling had exhibited little science, falling after every first blow.

Shown on Bryant's 1826 map.

William Moore, late of Great Poringland, Publican and Dealer in hay, was to appear at the Court House, Norwich on 23rd July 1832, the Court for Relief of Insolvent debtors.

The neat Household Furniture and other Effects of William Moore were to be Sold at the Dove, on Thursday 20th September 1832, since he was changing his residence.
(He was still described as Master of The Dove in September 1833 when the death of his wife was announced.)

James Legood, formerly of Poringland, Publican, then of Loddon, Publican and Hay & Corn Dealer, then of Golden Dog Lane, Norwich, unemployed and then lodging near the New Church at St. Clement, attended the Norwich Court, 15th March 1847 as an Insolvent Debtor.

Low beer sales were reported in early 1900's

1940's - William T. Machin was presented an engraved mug by American service personnel, thanking him for his service during WWII.

Steward & Patteson report, prepared for Watney Mann (Loddon & Clavering area) in May 1969, recommended IMMEDIATE closure.

Thankfully remained open.
