See p.99 BISHOP'S STORTFORD Butchers Christy, William Church Street Pigot and Co.'s Royal National and Commercial Directory and Topography of the Counties of Essx, Herts, Middlesex, J. Pigot & Co, London, Sept. 1839 ------------- "She held the King's Head and related properties for a time but in November 1791 sold it to John Rawlins of Bishop's Stortford, described as an innkeeper, for £1,000. Rawlins died in September 1792 leaving the property to his wife in trust. 'That she may if necessary sell and dispose of the same for the purpose of paying any monies that may have been borrowed to complete the purchase thereof and likewise the legacies bequeathed to my daughter Susanna and sons John and Henry.' At her death, Elizabeth bequeathed the property to her son John upon trust, 'to pay and divide the same together with money arising from the sale of her real estate unto and amongst her four children, Ann the wife of William Stacey; Susan the wife of George Perry and John and Henry Rawlins'. The four children mentioned here are Ann, Susan (Susanna), George and John. The fourth child, Ann, didn't appear in her husband's will so was presumably from a previous marriage. The will was proved 22 December 1824. On 21 January 1828 the property was sold by William Stacey (in full agreement with the other members of the family) to George Perry, innkeeper of Bishop's Stortford, and in the same year purchased for £3,150 for the purpose of erecting a Corn Exchange on the site. The sale included 'the King's Head, with the ground and soil thereof together with all and singular the Yards, Stables, Haylofts, Edifices and Buildings belonging to the premises and also all those Tenements, Shops, Sheds, Stables lying round and adjoining the inn. Before the sale these various properties were in the tenure or occupation of: John Perry; Alexander Ramsey, William Christy, ____ Woolman, William Wood, ______Markwell and William Lamb. At the time of sale some of the same properties were in the occupations of the Widow Markell, James Franklin, Thomas Forsuch, William Fuller and John Barber."
