TRUMPET

Rackleford (now Market Street)

 

There is only one reference to a public house called the Trumpet (marked as 'A' on the map at right) and that is in a 1769 Conveyance as shown in the documentation below.

Leslie Brooke, in his notes, wondered if the Trumpet could have been an early name for the Pall Tavern. However it couldn't possibly have been the Pall Tavern for one simple reason - the conveyance documented below clearly states that the Almshouse was to the south of the waste ground (coloured green on the map) being conveyed and the Trumpet was on the east of the waste ground, making the Trumpet north and east of the Almshouse, whereas the Pall Tavern is known to have been to the west-southwest of the Almshouse.
