Historic Interest
Current building is a former village school. They may have been an earlier pub building but we do not have any details of it as yet. A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 27 Aug in 1851 states the Auction of the Plough, Hundon. "When my dad took on the Plough in 1958 it was owned by the Dunmow Brewery (this brewery was in North Street, Dunmow, Essex - opposite the duck pond). It was subsequently sold to Charringtons & we were a bit out of their range for delivery so we were encouraged to buy it." (information from Peter Rowlinson). In Dec 1982 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that Zeb Banks (then the local CAMRA branch chairman) was landlord here where building work was just being completed.
