The Horse Shoes

The Horse Shoes

In 1798 a Public House called the Horse Shoes was advertised¹⁸ for sale by auction. With a homestead, garden, butcher's shop, barn and stables it was put up for sale by order of the assigns of Peter Tyler, who was bankrupt. The sale included (as Lot 2), two messuages with closes of land containing about 6½ acres, in the occupation of Peter and Thomas Tyler. Perhaps the Horse Shoes Inn, a property which included a butcher's shop, would later be called the Butcher's Arms? Henry Rollings was buried at Ancaster in 1810. John Reynolds, recorded as innkeeper at Ancaster in the 1790 Directory¹⁹ may have been the innkeeper here.
