Bacton Grapes
Bacton Grapes
East, 52.26533,1.0078
Closed: between 1840 and 1920
Church Rd
grid reference TM 053 672
Now a farmhouse, the building dates from early/mid 16th century, with alterations around 1600.
Having examined the Hartismere licensing records from 1923 to 1962 and found no trace of this pub, we conclude it must have closed before 1923.
