Original house believed to have been what is today Whitehall Farm, a short distance south of the Church Road site. New house probably built after 1853 (when Estuary cut completed). It is possible that William Pike was the last licensee at the `old' Cherry Tree.

Offered for sale by auction 6th October 1865.
The property described as:-
`.... with two large newly built Club Rooms, Stable, Cart Shed, Tool-house and Piggery, and Three Acres, more or less, of Orchard Ground, well planted with thriving fruit trees, now in the occupation of William Mann.'

Mr. Samuel Diver applied for a spirit licence, Monday 20th September 1869. It was said that there were about two and a half acres of garden ground attached, which were frequented by many visitors from Lynn and many inhabitants sought to purchase spirits. With five spirit licenses already in the area, the Bench refused the application.

Henry Lee, Beer Retailer, gave Notice 21st July 1873, that he would apply for a Spirit Licence at the September 1873 General Annual licensing Meeting. <That application appears to have been unsuccessful>

A licence to sell spirits was granted to Henry Lee, Monday 7th September 1874.
"The house was of the required value and conducted in the most respectful manner."

Offered for sale by auction 22nd July 1878.
described as `Close to the Church, facing the Ouse bank.'
