The White Hart Pub (Stoneleigh)

[Mansl]

Hi Ruth.
           Not much luck I could only find a small booklet written by a person called Gamage it covered the years 1900 to 1970 only had a dozen pages.I was hoping I could find something earlier Mary Ann Downing was the owner of the White Hart in 1903 but not a lot of use to you.They told me I could look at some of the old deeds from years ago but that would be a long shot.Sorry I couldn't help you and good luck with your searches.

In the 2006 book, Warwickshire Breweries by Joseph McKenna, it states that Thomas Hall was brewer at the Inn in Stoneleigh in 1605 and succeeded by his son Thomas Junior in 1620.
In the 1851 census Sarah Hale 72 is listed as brewer in the village and in 1872 Robert Heartland is listed as a grocer, provision dealer, brewer and beer retailer so not exactly a dry village!
