Robert Leach died in 1905 **
Following Cromer Cole’s death, his son-in-law, Robert Leech, became
landlord. When the licensing Act of 1872 became law, the beer was supplied
first by the Colchester Brewing Company of East Hill, Colchester, then by
Oliver’s of Sudbury and eventually by Greene King of Bury St. Edmunds. After
the death of Robert Leech, his son-in-law, Henry Denny, became landlord for
the next 26 years. His widow, Mary Ann Denny, held the licence for a time
before it passed to her son-in-law, Harvey Carter. Harvey’s son, Douglas, is
co-author of Boxted Book. :- Pubs of Boxted **
