SWAN INN, Churchgate

SWAN INN

Churchgate (now Church Street)

*
Possibly in existence between 1602 and 1696.

MINE HOSTS:

1702                    Mr. Sudell  (Sudall)

                                                    L.R.O.  Bos DDCr 1 - 4  Items 1/15;  1/21;  1/22; 1/23; 1/24.

                                    On Kuerden's map I've marked 'Swan' by Widow Hughgall. Is this name synonymous?

1732                    James Hamilton   -  Mrs. Sudell - widow - owner.

According to Stephen Sartin:

This inn was on the site of the Miller Arcade.

From the verbal description he gave to me, I

would imagine that it was where the KING'S ARMS were.

That inn was a 17th century establishment, and may

well have been known previously as the Swan Inn.

ALSO

According to the 1732 Poor Law Rate

Assessment book, in that year it was

known as the "KING'S ARMS & WOOLPACK"
