New Inns *New information added August 2022 thanks to information kindly supplied by Andrew Mullis (see comments below). Andrew tells us there were two New Inns in Lane End. The earliest later became the Old Arm Chair leaving the name New Inn free for a second, different premises in the village*
1852-61 Richard Oxlade. Came from the Earl Grey (see a previous post here). Also operated as carrier from High Wycombe 1852. Accused 1858 of opening illegal hours. Wife Elizabeth later at the Earl Grey again.
1865 - James Ellis.
1869-70 William Bird.
1870- 71 Frederick House. Seems to have continued to live on the premises for a period after Henry Hawes took over.
1871-72 . Henry Hawes. Also a carrier. Probably of Bull and Butcher, Turville 1865. Wife Fanny.
1872- Elizabeth Cutler. Later at the Old Arm Chair, but this appears to be a new name for the same premises) Historic landlord listings for the Old Arm Chair here. Nee Carr.
1890- Frederick House again [new information August 2022 from Andrew Mullis suggests that this is a different premises using the name New Inn] He and wife Ann define themselves as chair makers on the census 1891 but it is common for known beer sellers to miss this information off the census. Many had to have other occupations to survive financially and it seems a good few saw the beer trade as a top up to their income only. It is possible therefore that the Houses were actually selling beer 1891.
1901- Frederick House senior. Now defining himself on census as publican.
1911- Thomas Trinder. Previously at Old Arm Chair pub, Lane End. See list of landlords for that pub here. Later in 1911 at Chairmaker's Arms, Lane End. More about that pub soon.
1915- Thomas Reid
1939- Emma Dean. 1939 Kelly's Directory puts Mrs Emma Dean at the Chairmaker's Arms, Lane End instead.
Crown Inn.
1833- Charles Fletcher. He also occupied a shoemaker's workshop which indicates he had this other trade too, like many beer sellers. His inn consisted of the house and garden worth £9 10 shillings annually in 1833.
Beer shop without a name:
1833- Thomas Marks. Had yard, stable and garden out back.

There were two New Inns in Lane End. In 1872, Hawes ran the New Inn on Marlow Road that became the Old Arm Chair - closed 1909. House ran a New Inn next to the Temperance Hotel - closed 1921
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for telling us that Andrew, much appreciated. Just about all our sources just say "New Inn" without an address, we never guessed there was two! We'll separate out the landlords when we next have time to do some research. I've added your information about there being two premises to the top of the post with credit to you. Once again, thank you. Our area of expertise is Marlow but because Lane End came under Great Marlow for many things it is often expected that we will know something of Lane End and so we try to add what bits we can when possible.
