A horse belonging to a Mr Barnes was found to have its shoulders cut to pieces, the head bruised and swollen, and the hips knocked about. Barnes had loaned the horse to a John Smith a "small holder" of Brome whose lad had left it with Mr John Laws of the Cherry Tree Inn, Yaxley. A prosecution was made by the RSPCA and Smith was found guilty of having used a horse in an unfit state, he was fined 6s with 9s costs.Ipswich Journal, May 28th 1892** (when John Laws was the landlord)
In the April/May 1982 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that Malcolm and Janet were now at the Cherry tree with Greene King IPA & Abbot on handpump after alterations had been completed.
The pub reopened on October 9th 2015 after a period of closure.
