Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal** in Sep 1820 states that : Lately was married, at Little Clacton, Essex, Nathaniel Welton, youngest son of Mr Welton, at the Castle Inn, Bredfield, to Miss E Gleed, eldest daughter of Mr Gleed, Dickleburgh Hall, Norfolk. The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Castle's license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. A report in the Bury & Norwich Post in 1838 (Dec-28) gives an account of the pub being sold to Mr Cana as part of the Samuel Alexander's Brewery sale, the Castle selling at £560. A report in the Ipswich Journal** in 1898 (Sep-17) when Mrs Caroline Platten was landlady states: "Michael Hill pleaded guilty to being drunk & disorderly & refusing to quit the Castle. He chose to serve 14 days hard labour rather than pay a fine." Thomas Hurren [spelled with an e everywhere else!] is listed on the Castle Inn page as licensee of the Castle Inn in 1888. He is also listed in the 1881 census return as a 'Tailor & Innkeeper' so was following the trail of some of his predecessors. (information from Patrick Dennis) Built early 19th century.
