Historic Interest
The publican of the Ferry Boat Inn also operated the ferry across the River Trent to Shelford.
In the 1823 Alehouse Recognizances for the South Thurgarton Hundred, the Boat started the year under victualler Elizabeth Bosworth (County Archive C/QD/LV/4/7/30) but ended the year under William Cupit (County Archive C/QD/LV/4/7/31). In 1832, the Ferry Boat was fully licensed under W. Cupit (White). In 1855, the publican was also named as W. Cupit and in 1876 it was William Cupit, possibly the same person (Post Office Directory).
