Wetherden Maltsters' Arms
Wetherden Maltsters' Arms
South East, 52.22592,0.93771
Closed: unknown era
Stowmarket Rd
grid reference TM 007 627
This is an early 16th century building, with major rebuilding in the 17th century. Now Home Farm.
The building we show is, according to the Listed Buildings Register, what was the Maltsters' Arms. Though the wording is somewhat ambiguous:
Probably built as a parlour wing to the attached Maypole Inn (believed once to have been The Maltsters Arms)
This could be interpreted as saying that the Maypole is believed to have been the Maltsters', though since the dates of the two overlap by a long period with no duplication of landlord names (and different landlord names at the same time), this interpretation seems to be incorrect. To compound the confusion, the entry for the Maypole says:
Believed to have originally been know[sic] as the Maltsters Arms.
