A SUTTONS ARM TALE
The Sutton Arms in Little Hallingbury is a fine old country pub, said to be over 500 years old.Now, The Suttons is named after a local family of landowners, The Suttons, many years ago one of the Sutton lads fell in love with a young parlour maid in the pub.
The girl had no wish to return the young mans favours, so in a fit of passion, the young man killed the poor lass, and it is said, his ghost haunts The Suttons, looking for the young lady to beg for her forgiveness.
On still dark nights, several young ladys have been given a gift, a ring, by a handsome young man, who they meet in the hall between the two bars.
When they have got over the suprise of being given the gift, and have gone to look for the young man, who gave them the gift, he is nowhere to be found, and as soon as they go to show another person the gift, the gift disappears.
LITTLE HALLINGBURY WINDMILL
We have recently discovered LITTLE HALLINGBURY had a WINDMILL, yes, a real working, actual WINDMILL.
This Windmill stood on the hill which rises steeply above the Stort Valley on an enclosed plot which is shown on the Tithe Map of 1833. The 1839 Apportionment Record indicates the mill was owned by George and Peter Pavitt and occupied by Joseph and Peter Pavitt.
The property was advertised for sale in February 1856, consisting of a watermill with three pairs of stones and the windmill with one pair fixed, but capable of driving two.
These and the dwelling house were rented annually at £120.
Little is known of this Mill, after 1874 when it may have been discarded, with the building of the present Hallingbury Water Mill, as the Windmill to which we refer was not detailed on the map of 1875.
The above windmill was in Essex, but not in Little Hallingbury, do you know where ?
