Colleen,

Actually, my ancestor, Francis King, owned the White Hart, if I'm reading
the will correctly. The occupants were Benjamin Fraser and a Mr. Alsop,
confectioner. I assume Mr Fraser actually ran the Inn and Mr Alsop had an
adjoining shop, but Francis King lived in a separate house "at the end of the yard."
He also owned the Green Man in Little Braxted and the Chequer Inn in
Whickham Bishops.

Francis also owned other land in LB, as well as a manor in Rivenhall, and
properties in several other nearby villages. If you want, I can send you my
transcript of the will. Most of the properties identify the tenants, so it
might be useful for someone doing research in the area.

Thanks again,
John F
