Hi tony
I hope this will help with your research
William James son of James (Jemme) James born c1796 is living there on the 1851 census but i beleve he was living there as early as 1822. He died in 1875 and it was left to his daughter Sarah who seven years earlier in 1868 married Samuel Musgrove born 1842 he then took up the milling until he turned it into an ale house but when i`m not sure. HE died in 1909 but who took over after idon`t know, but i beleive it continued as a ale house up until the 1950`s or even 60`s
