My great great Grandfather, Henry John Carr,
was born at this address in 1794. It was the first "Argyll Arms" at this
address - I believe the present building is a Victorian replacement on the
same site? We know that Henry John's father, Samuel Carr, paid rent or rates
on the property. What we don't know is whether that means Samuel was the
property landlord, or the Licensed Victualler. ***
