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* We simply record here all mentions of a pub at Lane End called "The New Inn".
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.
1861 -Edmund Hawes who paid £14 a year rent on a short term lease. Following the death of building owner James Lee meant that the the premises were put up for auction.
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 physical premises from the earlier one 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 their beer selling 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.
