On Monday 11th May 1840 the well-accustomed Freehold Public-house known as the VINE TAVERN, occupied by Mr. Berry was offered for sale by auction. The adjoining Stable also included in the lot, was in occupation of Mr. James Clare, a family name which continues to be associated with the house to at least 1867. On Sunday 16th May 1841, at between two and three o'clock in the morning, Susan Weavers and Mary Ann Watts fought each other whilst under the influence of drink. On the following Wednesday it was heard that the house was often complained of and the landlord, Mr. White was sent for, but he was not at home. The ladies were ordered to pay 2s for their summons.
