Licensed Victuallers
Home Up Information News History Government

 

Victuallers were obliged to register themselves, this give us some information about who ran the public houses in the village.

The CRO has two index cards for registered victuallers in Carlton (I forgot to check Willingham Green), the information is given below (apparently the actual registers don't carry any more information than is given on the index cards - something to check one day). The two pubs named are the Carpenter's Arms (now called Hillcroft - via the Axe & Saw) and the Bell (which I haven't heard of before). Here are transcripts of the cards:
