Wivenhoe pub history index
The Falcon building is of 16th century at least, and was definitely an inn by the 1630s as it is mentioned, along with then landlord John Parker, in a 1636 book by one John Taylor 'the water poet'. There are also several surviving farthing tokens IOHN PARKER AT THE FALKEN AT WEVENHOE. In the 1770s the spelling in the licensing records is FAULCON.
The Falcon became a Daniells pub. Trumans were given permission to demolish by Wivenhoe UDC in 1971 but the building was saved after a public outcry and converted into residential accommodation after it eventually closed in 1975.
