Named after the nearby barracks, in 1841 Royal Lancers was auctioned off with a rent of £26 per year. William Sands together with his wife ran the beer house during the 1840s and early 1850s. The pair was prosecuted for breaking various licensing laws more than once.
The same fate befell Joseph Linney during the following decade.
1872. A strange case of assault. Benjamin Hubbard’s wife accused him a giving her a beating, he counter claimed he was sitting in the Royal Lancers with their baby on his knee, when his wife stormed in and hit him with a bottle of beer, she then attacked a Militia man. She took a great deal of quietening before she was ejected, the court believed Benjamin, cautioned his wife, also granting him custody of the child.
A home brew pub, one of its last brewers was a Mrs King in 1892.(MB), by 1894 it seems to have become an Everards house.
