- that and a bag of crisps, was our treats as children, when we had to sit in the garden of a 'Pub'- Adults only where allowed inside. Reminded me of 'apple noggin' - grabbing apples off neighbours trees without permission!

Looking at the Will of Henry STEPHENS in 1793 - one witness was Richard HOOK

Lydney/Lidney 1791

HOOK Richard, Malster

So the family could well be 'brewing'
