**NOTES
It is known that Thomas Woodhouse was at the Springfield Inn by the 1841 census, and that he was definitely an innkeeper by 1837, when son, also Thomas, was baptised on the 22nd May 1837, and his abode given as 'Marsh Lane'.
The house has always stood at the corner of Marsh Lane and Spring Street, later renamed as a part of Bow Lane, so he may have been here then. His occupation was given as a Spinner, which it may well have been in addition to anything else.
On the 1st December 1837, a daughter, Elizabeth, was baptised, again the abode was Marsh Lane, but now his occupation was given as Innkeeper.
Information received from a descendent, A.H.
Many thanks to her.

Mr B. Raby applied for a licence

(Was this application for a spirit licence for an already existing beerhouse?
If so, their may be a different history, possibly under a different name.)
