Alehouse Licences |

Alehouse Licences were granted at the Quarter Sessions and Rushden came under the Wellingborough Division of the County, which included Rushden. Each year they would apply for a licence and records for 1737 - 1828 survive at the Northamptonshire Record Office. There is not a full run for all dates (none for 1750-55 for Wellingborough), and before 1800 the name of the house is rarely given. The applicant would be bound by the court to run an orderly house and would also have to find another person (or two) to stand surety for them. In 1800 John Corby and John Mason stood surety for each other. Later, licencing was dealt with at the Petty Sessions held at Wellingborough Division
Here are the details for a selected sample of the years, of the Rushden applications - In 1737 John Corby applied and was bonded for £20 and James Dyson & John Hawks of Chelveston stood surety for him in the sum of £10. On 09 Sep 1755 John Corby applied and was bonded for £10 and William Fox of Rushden and John Ekins of Raunds stood surety for him in the sum of £5 each. On 03 Sep 1765 William Fox applied and was bonded for £10 and Thomas Foster of Chelveston stood surety for him in the sum of £10. On 22 Sep 1780 John Corby applied and was bonded for £10 and John Chamberlin of Wellingborough stood surety for him in the sum of £10. In 1800 John Corby applied and was bound for £10 and John Mason of Rushden stood surety for him in the sum of £10.
