Full Description

The apportionment (for the tithe map) describes plot 124 as cottage and garden, the land owner is John Boldero (who also owns the pub and the adjacent fields) and the tenant is John Sergeon William Sexon. The tenant for the pub is John Billingslay (or Billingstay) who also rents the three of Boldero’s neighbouring fields. The map and apportionment are 1838 and 1837 and there is a parish survey (a list of owns /occupiers ) of 1829 in which the details are the same. Couldn’t find out anything out about John Sexon’s trade, he is not listed on the 1841 census, so the trail’s gone cold. There is info about the pub, which is the home of the Beyton Brewery Co. by at least 1879 (S1)


I think we can safely assume there's a link with the brewery behind the White Horse. The surviving roadside range consists of flint rubble in much the same manner as the 'underground rooms'. They look like pretty standard mid-19th century storage cellars to me, cut into a bank or covered with earth to keep barrels and bottles cool before being carted away from the site. They adjoin a yard which gave direct access to the road. (S2)
