This Pub is Permanently Closed

Distinctive small single bar pub with no cellar - beers were sold from a gravity stillage until they stopped selling real ale. Now residential. A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Aug-20 in 1828 when Heston Fenton was the landlord states that: Sarah Davis & Ann Smith were convicted of uttering counterfeit coin to Hester Fenton, of the Plough Inn, Woolpit. Constable John Rednall found Smith in a tent in bed with a man named Joseph Mead. Under their bed he found, on removing a piece of turf which had recently been cut, a parcel of coin, (which, on being examined by a Mr Gudgeon, silversmith, was pronounced bad.) Smith & Davis were sentenced to 12 months inprisonment.
