Henry Bezant, wheelwright and publican, of Laxfield, has assigned his estate and all his effects over to trustees for the equal benefit of his creditors. The creditors are to meet at the White Horse Inn, Laxfield, where a statement will be laid before them. Ipswich Journal, Dec 1815**
To be sold at auction, that old established well accustomed public house, called Laxfield White Horse, with gardens, orchard, barn, stables, and 10 acres of very superior arable and pasture land. The above well deserves the attention of public brewers, of the dealing man, being well situated, abutting upon the high road, at an easy distance from several good market towns.Ipswich Journal, May 1840**
