It was reported in April 1860 that as Mr Chester Lay, a Mellis farmer, was returning from Halesworth he called at the Cherry Tree, at Holton, leaving his horse in charge of Brister, the landlord, when it commenced plunging about, slipped its bridle, and started off at a furious rate back to Halesworth, until it reached the corner at the Angel Hotel, where the vehicle came in collision with the door, and was upset. The shafts were both broken off, and the horse sustained some injury. Fortunately, no persons were hurt.Ipswich Journal, April 1860**
