Location given as Hilgay in 1794 & 1846
Although located at the southern end of Southery parish,
the house was actually in a detached part of Hilgay parish.
In 1885 under the Divided Parishes Act the area became
part of Littleport parish, Cambridgeshire.
Closure of this house or the Ferry Boat, along with the Queen of Hearts, proposed at the
First Joint Committee Meeting of Bullards and Steward & Patteson 29th May 1962,
subject to inspection by Mr. L. Canham.
One of only 18 Norfolk public houses recommended by the Egon Ronay pub
guide of 1969.
` A haven for those who want to get away from the noise and bustle of town
life.'
