It was reported that a fire broke out Wednesday 5th August 1812, nearly destroying the furniture of the best double bed-chamber, with a quantity of wearing apparel in drawers. The timely assistance by inhabitants fortunately preserved the house.

To Let from the 29th September 1856 with extensive Stables, a Large Granary and Iron Weigh-bridge belonging. Apply to Mr. Bidwell.

John Harrington, a carpenter, was found guilty of stealing a teapot, the property of Mrs. Boyce. At the hearing on Monday 22nd August 1864, Harrington pleaded guilty and said he had been very much intoxicated, otherwise he would not have taken it and asked the bench to deal with him leniently. The Mayor said that his being drunk only aggravated the offence and the sentence was Two Months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

Offered To Let March 1871, including Weigh Bridge.

Offered To Let October and November 1871, to be entered Immediately.
Apply Mr. Bidwell, Thetford.

Valuation given 25.07.1889 as £950.

Mr. Roy Cotterill took over from Mr. Shephard on Thursday 4th December 1952. He had served with the R.A.S.C. for six years and had served in France in the early days of the war and when the country fell, he was evacuated from Cherbourg on a fishing smack. In 1944 he had returned to France, landing at King Beach at Arromanches (known as Port Winston Churchill).
As a keen darts player, from a normal throw, he could take the ash off a cigarette held in the mouth.

 

Re-opened Friday 23rd August 2019 following refurbishment.
