Brewery or Owner:-finally - Greene, King

Chapman's maps of the C18 have the Cock in the NW corner of the Rookery. Unfortunately the maps are not detailed enough to be absolutely sure which building is being referred to. It does seem from the 1787 map that it was where what was to become the King's Head Brewery and the John Barleycorn Inn. Bearing in mind the unreliability of the directories, and that Pigot 1839 has David Coe there, where as Robson has him at the Sir John Barleycorn, this may well solve the puzzle. Murfitt (Murfett) also appears at Sir John Barleycorn in 1855. It is necessary to consult these directories again. None of the names below have been found in the 1841 census and the 1851 census for 1851 was destroyed. In the last years, Charles Harris was tenant for 11 years before moving to the Crown Fordham where he remained for 13 years In February 1926 the licence was transferred to the Jolly Butchers, Exning, which until then only had a beer house licence. The Sir John Barleycorn was then sold. |
