Buffy's Brewery `Tap' by 2000

( June 2019 - Founders Roger Abrahams and Julie Savory of Buffy's Brewery of Tivetshall St. Mary, announced that brewing ceased owing to a saturation of brewers in Norfolk.)
     
  David Riddell advises - 22nd August 2022.

My great great great great uncle William Turrell, was licensee of the Cherry Tree in Wicklewood. William’s second wife Hannah (nee Webster, who was 30 years younger) succeeded him as licensee – she then remarried and the licence was assumed by her husband John Ellis, reverting to Hannah upon his death; her successor was William Mann (the younger). However, William Mann (the elder) was there living with his wife Emma in the 1861 census. Emma (nee Quantrill) was Hannah’s niece (indeed ‘adopted’ daughter, and had been living with her aunt since a child). William and Emma are in Crownthorpe in the 1871 Census, but again at the Cherry Tree in 1881, described as living ‘near to the Cherry Tree’, but in reality in one of two adjoining cottages, the other inhabited by Francis Turrell and family – Francis being William Turrell’s nephew and Hannah’s brother-in-law, being married to her sister Harriet.

William (‘the younger’) was born at the Cherry Tree in 1882. He was succeeded as licensee by his wife Edith, and then her second husband. So, from William Turrell to Edith Mann, the Cherry Tree was run by the same family.
