Address unknown
In 1545, Henry VIII, a frequent visitor to the town, ruled that all inns and taverns, victualling houses etc., in the Borough, should have painted signs, on boards one foot square, hung over their hall doors so that the public might more readily recognise them. This house of John Bowles (Mayor of 1540) already complied with the decree. It had 8 beds and stabling.
