Lane End Historic Landlords #2


Compiled from court cases, adverts, censuses, property records (some uniquely held by my family), etc.

These pubs came under Great Marlow for licensing and censuses.

Old Armchair, High Street (Thanks to information from Andrew Mullis we understand that this pub was previously called the New Inn).

1881- Elizabeth Cutler. She was also a lace maker. Previously at the New Inn but this appears to be the same premises, just with the name changed.

1885- Charles Mead temporarily, then Benjamin Stocks to George Tilbury then he to Daniel Lyford all in one year. Rapid turnovers of landlords were common in the past.

1888- John Lyford

1900- Edwin J Day 

1900-02 Thomas Williamson

1902-03 Charles Wackett / Wackitt

1903-06 Frederick Crump. Came from running the Cherry Tree pub in Dean Street Marlow. Also a blacksmith.

1906 Thomas Trinder, briefly. Later at Chairmaker's Arms Lane End.

1909 : referred for closure under local authority powers to limit the number of pubs in an area. They say there's 5 other licenced premises within 92 yards of this one, the property is in very bad condition and there isn't a bar, only a tap room. The licensee then is said to have kept a general shop too. Weller's of Amersham are the brewers. 


Old Inn 

Bit of a mystery this one! Is he actually at the Old Sun? Almost certainly. 

1887- Frederick Goodchild. See above 


Old Sun AKA The Rising Sun (Be aware of the Rising Sun in Chapel Str Marlow too) 

1833- Thomas Plummer. Premises then had a yard, skittle ground, stable and garden attached worth a combined £10 10 shillings.

1841 - George Haines? 

1851 - George Haines? 

1871 - Elizabeth Haines?

1871-3 Elizabeth Hawes. 

1874 - Elizabeth Hawes to Richard Cutler

1881-87 John Cutler. John Cutler dies 1887 and premises passes to his widow Elizabeth.  

1898 - 1 Mrs Goodchild. 2. Oscar Knoff (hold over). 3 Mr Piercey. 

1900- Many complaints as to bad conduct reported in the South Bucks Standard 28th December.

1903 - E Piercey 

1905 "Olde Sun" Edward Albert Piercy to Noah Stone. 

(1911 Benjamin Thomas Prue ?)

1915- John Austin

1915-23 A. E Stevens [Albert Ernest]. He was a beerseller 1911 Kelly's Post Office directory which also lists Benjamin Prue so he must have been selling beer already elsewhere before he took over from Benjamin. Albert probably died 1923.

1939- David George Fall
