It was reported 30th June 1838 that the house of the widow Barsham, the Star, had been broken into on Tuesday 12th June. Three bottles of liquor, a part of a cooked ham and 2 or 3 shillings were taken. The police were suspicious of several bad characters lodging at the COACH & HORSES beerhouse and following a search of those premises, a great part of the stolen property was found there.

Valuation given 25th July 1889 as £700

It was advised 27th February 1952 that the former Norwich City footballer, Mr. "Tot" Pike would take over the Star Inn on 9th April.

Steward & Patteson report prepared for Watney Mann, May 1969 recommended immediate closure. "Structure unsound and trade has dropped by 75% since road closed."
