Historical interest
They had been in charge of the Brewers Arms at Stonham Parva for 22 years (1869-1891). There had never been a written agreement between the tenants and the owner, Edwin Popplewell Dawson, brewer, until 1889. By 1890 they had been issued with a notice to quit, and left October 1891, being replaced by George Wright. Their departure was far from smooth with Dawson suing the Markins for £34 11s 9d for dilapidation citing 84 separate repairs. The Markins counter sued for £50 for damage to their garden (caused by Dawsons builders). The Court ruled that Dawson pay £15 compensation and the Markins £10 to each other in compensation.Bury & Norwich Post, July 19th 1892** (when George & Angelina Markin were the landlord and landlady)
