Lion & Boar, High Street, Earls Colne, Colchester CO6

Also known as the Lion & Boar Inn in the 1851 census, the Lion Hotel in 1911; and randomly White Lion & Blue Boar, the White Lion, and the Lion. Presumably as there are two separate pubs in 1787, the White Lion, and also the Blue Boar, then these were individual premises at that time. I am slowly splitting these records.

The licensee in 1769 was recorded on the Alehouse Recognizances as Anthony Augur, at the White Lion, Earls Colne.

The licensee in 1787 was recorded on the Alehouse Recognizances as Sarah Augur, at the White Lion, Earls Colne.

The licensee in 1806 was recorded on the Alehouse Recognizances as John White, at the White Lion, Earls Colne.

The licensee in 1810 was recorded on the Alehouse Recognizances as John White, at the White Lion, Earls Colne.

The licensee in 1825 was recorded on the Alehouse Recognizances as Joseph Milne, at the White Lion.
