| 1835 | 1841 | BEERHOUSE | |
There have been various estimates that it dates from 1760 to 1794. It looks to me like a longhouse, that is an early farmhouse, so may be even earlier. It is said that it was originally called the GREEN DRAGON until Prince William Henry stayed here so that afterwards the name was changed to the PRINCE WILLIAM HENRY.
In 1835 and 1841 it is listed as simply the BEERHOUSE, Foleshill. | |||
