Other properties known to have Hann & Co connections

* The Red Cow Inn was one of the properties leased by William Hann Pine in 1842

Unfortunately they have been grouped in a manner to enable solicitors to refer to the whole document as two schedules each with a first and second part. The first schedule giving details of the properties bought from JJ Cuddon; the second the means by which it came his hands and those subsequently acquired by John George.  Parish names have been added above each section to try and show which parish is referred to in the paragraph(s) below and in the Second Schedule a number has been added to the parish name (in brackets) to try and show to which part of the First Schedule those in the Second Schedule relate.  To get from the First Schedule to the relevant part of the Second Schedule click on the number at the beginning of the paragraph. Note: Some properties only appear in the Second Schedule and appear to be John George's later acquisitions.

Other events connected with the Hann & Co estate

1898 - John George sold Town Mill at Ottery St Mary to James Shiner (timber merchant and stationer) of Prout Bridge, Beaminster

22 June 1898 - John George bought a house in High Street, Honiton described as:

'freehold properties consisting of a spacious and convenient brick-built dwelling-house site on the south side of the High-street of Honiton, with a frontage thereto of 37 feet, together with the large garden, croquet lawn, and pleasure grounds in the rear, extending to King-street, and a large stone-built stable &c., adjoining; also a rich close of meadow or grazing land known as Streamer's Meadow containing by measurement, 3a 2r 28p in the occupation of Mr H Hook' for £1600.

These were part of the estate of the late Edmund Stamp believed to be the former Honiton Rural District Council offices 'listed' building at 128 High Street (currently occupied by the Department of Works and Pensions' Jobcentre Plus) - see Historic England website. This property was called "Fair Lawn" when John George was letting it out in 1905 and later as "Sudbury Lawn" when it was also the home of suffragette and eleven-time Honiton Mayor Juanita Maxwell Phillips who lived in Honiton from 1906 to her death in 1966. The property grounds were large enough for her to build a small theatre in them.  This is now the Meadow View Chapel in King Street - part of which would have been the stone-built stable &c mentioned above. Much of the rest of the grounds now form the western end of Kerslake Court

4 Aug 1905 - Placed an advertisement in the Exeter & Plymouth Gazette to let out his House in Honiton High Street

7 June 1906 - The licence for the Railway Inn at Lapford was not renewed by the magistrates

1907 - A large country house at the end of the High Street in Lyndhurst, Hampshire called 'Glasshayes' together with its stables and kitchen garden opposite at 113 High Street were purchased by Honiton Brewery and Hotels Co Ltd for £22,000 (£1.85m in 2017 terms), and the property re-opened as the Grand Hotel.  An extra floor and new facade both designed by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle were added in 1912.            [the hotel, by then known as the Lyndhurst Park Hotel, was closed in early 2015 and plans submitted to replace it with 75 retirement apartments and 12 holiday lets but due to local opposition this was declined by the New Forest National Park Authority in February 2017 and in late 2017 revised plans, now for 78 retirement apartments and 15 'affordable' houses, were still being contested and attempts made to have the property listed.]

7 February 1907 - Magistrates expressed concern that there was inadequate sanitation at the New Inn, Northleigh which John George as leasee undertook to remedy. 

March 1907 - The licensee of the New Inn, Farway, Samuel James Farrant, committed suicide by taking a shotgun to his head due to business worries and notice to quit

3 Apr 1907 - Licence at the New Inn. Farway transferred to Samuel White

5 March 1913 - Following an adjournment due to police objections the licence was renewed for the Black Lion Inn (although in a bad state of repair) but refused for the Anchor Inn

June 1914 - The Honiton Fire Brigade avoided the destruction of the Greyhound Inn at Fenny Bridges following a chimney fire

20 Apr 1917 - The Globe Inn at Honiton was put up for lease.

2 February 1918 - The New Inn at Kilmington was advertised to let

9 July 1918 - Lewis Henry successfully opposed the closure of the Four Horseshoes at Dulford, Kentisbeare at the 'principal meeting' of the Devon Licensing Committee

26 May 1925 and Jun 1925 - Two Legal Notices were published

In 'The Brewing Industry: A Guide to Historical Records' it states that Hann & Co Ltd's brewery and 10 public houses were taken over by Dorsetshire Brewery Co (Sherborne) Ltd* in 1927 which would be two years after these notices, by which time Lewis Henry had retired and John George had died.  Section 188 relates to the rights of creditors in a voluntary winding up and section 195 the Final Meeting and Dissolution of the company.  I believe these procedures were brought about  in 1925 to enable a Dorsetshire takeover as between the dates of the two notices Lewis Henry as Liquidator would have had to wind up the company and dispose of its assets.
