Landlady Mary Lewis was mentioned in a case of assault.
On Saturday 20th December 1862, at about half-past eleven, John Waller returned to the GARDENERS ARMS, where he was living and assaulted John Pull.
Both Mary Lewis and servant Martha Betts denied that any assault had occurred.
The Magistrates severely censured Waller since he was a married man and it was most disgraceful that he was cohabiting with this woman (Mary Lewis) and fined him 10s and costs or in default, twenty-one day's hard labour.
Police-constable Giles, who had refused to come to the assistance of Pull, had previously been asked to resign, but had been re-appointed, however he was suspended as a result of the case.

Anthony Bacon made an application, on Monday 24th August 1891, for a music and singing licence to accommodate members of his bowling club, who used the club-room after practice had adjourned. An objector insinuated that the bowling green was used as a pleasure garden and Bacon confirmed that girls and boys frequented the green. The Chairman felt it desirable that, in the interests of young people, where one of the attractions was a pleasure garden, licenses would be refused.
Application refused.

Damaged by enemy action 27/29.04.1942.

Demolished after 1969 closure.
