On 5 nov 1715 John Watts and John Tasburgh signed a bond so that Watts agreed not to license his house as it might be prejudicial to the viability of Tasburgh's established business. We are not sure if Tasburgh was a landlord of the Buck, but it is still the only known pub in the village - please let us know more if you can - Suffolk Archives ref; 741/HA12/B2/23/19…
