Hi. I have several references to James Kear being landlord of the Fountain Inn, dating back to 1834. No earlier references to the pub seem to exist and, as the Fountain was actually the house he had grown up in, it can be assumed that he was the very first publican. The building was greatly extended in the 1840's, but the original building still exists as the basement level on the right hand side of the present structure (when looking from the front).
