Welcome… to the latest edition of THE

WROXHAM & COLTISHALL BOOK! Is it OK to look forward to 2022 with a bit more optimism now? I don’t know about you, but I really hope so!

Last Christmas we were commenting on the months from March 2020 and hoping for brighter times ahead in 2021; roll-on 12 months and many of us have found a level of resilience we didn’t know we possessed!

‘Furlough’ and ‘Pivoting’ found their way into our everyday vocabulary, and many reflected on the wherewithal of our predecessors with greater respect and empathy than ever before. Deeper levels of gratitude and a new-found sense of community surfaced.

Chatting with friends and business clients here in postcode NR12, several of the things we decided we could do without during lockdown have already found their way back into favour – maybe you relate? J Whatever you and your family are up to, please stay safe over the festive season.

Enjoy Christmas & New Year!

THE PUB WITH NO LICENCE!!

By Chris Weston Some readers may recall the 1967 song by Slim Dusty ‘A pub with no beer’. That’s not too unusual given the pub could either have been exceptionally busy and sold out, or not received an a now overdue delivery. But you may be surprised to hear there was once a Norfolk pub which had plenty of beer plus other drinks to sell but officially, neither had nor needed a licence to trade! This extraordinary tale relates to a former riverside pub, in Horning.

Although never actually dissolved

by Henry Vlll, St Benet's Abbey in Horning / Ludham gradually fell into disuse and by the 19th century, was just a ruin. But the site didn’t totally disappear as just along the riverbank from the gatehouse and within the abbey wall was St Benet's House, a barn and a stable.

By the 19th century, St Benet’s House was a pub called The Chequers. Given its riverside position, this was considered a wherryman's pub, ideally situated for passing river trade. Although the first recorded publican was Valentine Spendlove In 1794, records tell us the Chequers Inn first opened in 1782. Around that time there is said to have been a ferry across the river Bure here - something which might still be very useful today! This was quite separate of the ferry at the Ferry Inn at Horning.

The next named licensee appears in the 1845 and 1854 White's Norfolk Directories as William Grapes, innkeeper. Staying for 20 years (1836-1856), William also became the last licensee and also, the last marshman to operate the nearby mill, finally leaving in 1867. The pub hadn’t needed a licence as it stood on consecrated ground. Still in use in the late 19th century, The

Chequers had been demolished by 1907. Its origins are unknown, but it was described as having a Gothic arched doorway of C14 work. The former pub had a late 18th century exterior, but inside are some carpenters' marks and an inscription, dated 1624.

After closure, the property became a private house and In 1925, the site became one of Britain's first Scheduled Ancient Monuments, having earlier been divided into two cottages by the 1870's. Then came a new but short-lived experience when they became a stopping place for eggs and butter for folk from the emerging river-based holiday trade. But just over a decade later, the cottages had both fallen into decline and burned down in 1886. For a time, remnants of the flint wall forming a courtyard around the building could still be seen on the riverbank. That ended the long era and ever since, the St Benet’s Abbey site has remained uninhabited, apart from the wildlife.

Some people may still think the Chequers was in Ludham but, it was in Horning, as the boundary between Ludham and Horning follows the old course of the River

Ant rather than the current one.

The Ant once went along the Hundred Dyke and joined the Thurne at Coldharbour. © Chris Weston, December 2021 THE WROXHAM & COLTISHALL BOOK

Christmas Treats or Christmas Poisons?

This time of year is fraught with potential dangers to our pets, so let us remind you of the potential risks of poisoning from our festive food and of other seasonal hazards that affect our four-legged friends.

Chocolate always has been and always will be poisonous to dogs and cats. The higher the cocoa solid content, the greater the risk.

Consequently, white chocolate is far less of a risk than milk chocolate with dark chocolate being the most toxic. So, if your pet devourers the Christmas chocolate, please check with your vet for advice. Your vet will want to know the type and how much chocolate has potentially been eaten along with the size of your dog or cat. If there is a perceived risk of toxicity, they may need treatment. Overall, it is better to avoid all temptation by not putting any chocolate on or under the Christmas tree!

Other foods that are also poisonous to pets that we tend to have in abundance at this time of year include those that contain grapes, raisins, and sultanas such as Christmas cake, pudding, and mince pies, as well as the fruits themselves. These can all prove lethal in even very small amounts, so don’t risk it. If you know that your pet has ingested even the smallest amount, please contact your vet as a matter of urgency.

Other toxins to be aware of include macadamia nuts, onions, leeks, shallots, and garlic, so please watch out for all those tasty savour-

ies. Rich, fatty foods such as gravy can cause stomach upsets, along with diarrhoea and in some cases a serious condition called pancreatitis – which is an inflammation of the pancreas resulting in pain, vomiting and dehydration. This will often require hospitalisation for treatment.

Turkey bones can be a choking hazard, they can seriously damage internal organs and cause obstructions and constipation, as can the foil we cook the turkey in!

Leftover foods can grow mould, which can induce convulsions, so secure that food waste bin lid or better still store it well out of harm’s way.

One other unexpected problem is antifreeze; it is very tasty to cats but will cause irreversible kidney failure even if your cat just licks

their paws after walking through a puddle of it. Emergency treatment is needed.

Let us ensure this Christmas, that humans enjoy human food and pets enjoy pet food and treats therefore no one will be making an unscheduled trip to the vets over the Christmas period and both you - and the emergency vet on duty will be very thankful!

Should you need any help or advice on any aspect of your pet’s healthcare, give our team a call on

01603 783920

On behalf of all the team at Bridge Vets, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

WHB TWINNING ASSOCIATION Over twenty members attended our AGM on November 11th at Wroxham Church Hall at 19.30 and we dispensed fairly quickly with the official business and got on to the much more enjoyable part of the evening, wine nibbles and chat. Not much to report, of course, but our French friends in La Pommeraye and Montjean-sur-Loire are having a meeting in November to discuss next year’s visit, 11th-16th August 2022, and we do hope that they can start the ball rolling then.

We do hope to have some more social occasions soon, Covid permitting, our usual post-Christmas meal, perhaps a bit later than normal.

Book Club continues on Zoom for the time being, perhaps for the winter, and we discussed Victoria Hislop’s “Those who are Loved”, Helen’s choice, in November, a tale set in Greece. Pat can supply more information for now on 01603 782375 or pat.barkergreen@btinternet.com For any more information please contact us, via Peter, on 01603 782733 or peter_c_milsted@talk21.com

THE PUB WITH NO LICENCE!!

By Chris Weston Some readers may recall the 1967 song by Slim Dusty ‘A pub with no beer’. That’s not too unusual given the pub could either have been exceptionally busy and sold out, or not received an a now overdue delivery. But you may be surprised to hear there was once a Norfolk pub which had plenty of beer plus other drinks to sell but officially, neither had nor needed a licence to trade! This extraordinary tale relates to a former riverside pub, in Horning.

Although never actually dissolved

by Henry Vlll, St Benet's Abbey in Horning / Ludham gradually fell into disuse and by the 19th century, was just a ruin. But the site didn’t totally disappear as just along the riverbank from the gatehouse and within the abbey wall was St Benet's House, a barn and a stable.

By the 19th century, St Benet’s House was a pub called The Chequers. Given its riverside position, this was considered a wherryman's pub, ideally situated for passing river trade. Although the first recorded publican was Valentine Spendlove In 1794, records tell us the Chequers Inn first opened in 1782. Around that time there is said to have been a ferry across the river Bure here - something which might still be very useful today! This was quite separate of the ferry at the Ferry Inn at Horning.

The next named licensee appears in the 1845 and 1854 White's Norfolk Directories as William Grapes, innkeeper. Staying for 20 years (1836-1856), William also became the last licensee and also, the last marshman to operate the nearby mill, finally leaving in 1867. The pub hadn’t needed a licence as it stood on consecrated ground. Still in use in the late 19th century, The

Chequers had been demolished by 1907. Its origins are unknown, but it was described as having a Gothic arched doorway of C14 work. The former pub had a late 18th century exterior, but inside are some carpenters' marks and an inscription, dated 1624.

After closure, the property became a private house and In 1925, the site became one of Britain's first Scheduled Ancient Monuments, having earlier been divided into two cottages by the 1870's. Then came a new but short-lived experience when they became a stopping place for eggs and butter for folk from the emerging river-based holiday trade. But just over a decade later, the cottages had both fallen into decline and burned down in 1886. For a time, remnants of the flint wall forming a courtyard around the building could still be seen on the riverbank. That ended the long era and ever since, the St Benet’s Abbey site has remained uninhabited, apart from the wildlife.

Some people may still think the Chequers was in Ludham but, it was in Horning, as the boundary between Ludham and Horning follows the old course of the River

Ant rather than the current one.
