My ggggg grandfather, Edward Whyman kept the Woodman
- there is a gap in land tax between 1783-1790. He was there until his death
in 1803; then his son John was publican until his death in 1825; and then
his wife Sarah took over and remained at the Woodman untill 1851. *
She then she moved up the road to the [Blue] Bell Nuthampstead. Sarah was
there circa 1851. On Sarah's death, her elder sister Hannah took over .The
Bell license was terminated on 31 December 1930, and the inn became a
private residence.
The Whyman family served almost 150 years in the trade But there were still
