Landlords found from court cases, wills, adverts, census etc.
This pub was routinely used to hold coroner's inquest and auctions of both goods and real estate. Earliest mention I have is 1839 but this doesn't give a landlord. The pub is a much older building so I hope eventually to find some names for earlier landlords.
1841-43 William Suthery /Suthury
1843 -63 George Tyler "late if Box, in the county of Oxford.". In 1844 Robert Lunnon of Well End was fined and bound over to keep the peace for a year for breaking a window of the pub and damaging the pub sign by shooting at them not to mention threatening to shoot Mrs Tyler, George's wife. Presumably this was Sarah who is on 1851 census. Perpetrator was apparently known for his drunken antics which left him "very violent"*. George was also one of the parish poor rate collectors for Little Marlow and Well End which could have led to tensions with some. Robert however was said in court to be comfortably off, in reciept of an income paid by the executors of an unnamed individual who had desired the money to be dished out gradually so he wouldn't spend it too easily!
