The Prince of Denmark stood near Denmark Farm.
In 1782 Magdalen farm was in the tenancy of Robert Denmark, who died 1790, and title
passed on to his son, William Denmark, who purchased the 33.5 acre farm in 1802. He died
1817 and the farm passed on to his son, also called William. The farm was then sold to
Mary Anne Perowne c1850.
For sale by auction Thursday 14th July 1853. A freehold property with
Yards, Garden, Stables, Play Ground, &c., &c.
Described as a Valuable, Fully-licensed Freehold Public House when
offered for sale by auction August 1876.
Samuel Morris applied, on Monday 24th August 1891, for a music and
singing licence for the club-room. The licence was granted on the
condition that it was only for the benefit of club members attending the
club-room. The Chief Constable had commented that the house, being on
the city borders, was difficult to supervise, but would not object if
the licence conditions were followed.
It is reported that Theophilus Rump, a rate collector, occupied
the farm house from 1891 and was in some dispute with the then landlord of the Prince of
Denmark. The dispute was so fierce that Rump was supposed to be in fear of going out at
night in case he was shot.
