According to the Churchwardens accounts of 1753, £3/14/0d was spent on food and drink
while `perambulating the bounds'.A meeting here in 1774 attracted over 500 people. The
purpose was to consider the application for an Act of Parliament to build a workhouse for
the Mitford & Launditch Hundreds. Although the proposal was rejected by a large
majority, the Act was passed.
Given as GEORGE & DRAGON 1830
and as the GEORGE INN at Market Hill 1836.
Youngs, Crawshay and Youngs still advertised on sign in 1967, but Bullards beers then
on sale. (since c1958)
The bowling green was reputed to be over 300 years old, one of the oldest in England -
when tarmac surface laid over it during 1986 (?), to allow car parking.
