The Lophams Project

South Lopham Drinking Establishments

Village pubs in England have a rich history, evolving really from the alehouses of the Anglo-Saxon period to the establishments we know today, the social hubs and meeting places for today’s communities. They’ve faced challenges, including economic changes, and legislation.

Public houses in the Lophams have always been centres of village life. The many uses to which they were put is a great insight into their social history, sometimes used for meetings or for celebrations, some maybe as places where sales and inquests were held.

The landlords were often ‘characters’ and were held in some regard within the village. Many had other jobs, several locally being farmers.

Gradually it is hoped that this resource will grow as new information is found. It will never be complete!
