The following entries are in this format:
Year/Publican or other Resident/Relationship to Head and or Occupation/Age/Where Born/Source.
This pub is said to have been established in 1721, and rebuilt in its current form in 1934 **
It has reportedly been
around since Tudor times, but the earliest
mention I've found online, so far, is in a record of an Old Bailey trial
dated May 17, 1809 wherein two girls were accused of pickpocketing.

In 1844, Charlotte Hemery remarried
(briefly) a chap named Francis
Ward. Charlotte ran the pub until 1861 with, for at least some of those
years,
the assistance of her daughter, the young divorcee Susannah Hemery
Testar. However, after Charlotte's demise, in the 1861 Census, it is
her son, THOMAS G HEMERY, who is listed as a licensed victualler, then
residing at the Mason's Arms. ***

By the 1871 census, however, both his
mother and sister had passed
away. Thomas must have relinquished the family interests in the pub
for, by then, he'd switched his profession to photography - a field in
which he later achieved wide reknown. ***
