|
Background |
|
|
In 1830 the land was inhabited by the poorest people
in Mathon.
In 1834 the Poor Law Amendment Act meant the poor were moved to the local Union Work House and Parish and their cottages sold. |

Edmund Pitt |
|
| The Brewers arms was originally built
by Edmund Pitt in the early 1830's. He was discovered to have enclosed land and built a new house and shed and to be using it as a pub.
In 1837 a Parish meeting decided he could not use it as a pub anymore, and started to pay £1.10.0d in acknowledgement of tenancy to the ChurchWardens. There is no more evidence of it being a pub until 1871. |

1871 - 1873 The tenant was Henry Turle, a Beer House Keeper from Wiltshire. 1873 Samuel Ruck was in residence and the Brewers Arms name was created in 1879. |

Fire at the Brewers Arms |
|
| In 1992 a fire started at the Brewers Arms at 5.40.am on the 23rd of June. The pub was
re-opened in October that year, after Nigel Kennedy performed in a concert at
St James Church, West Malvern to raise money for the Brewers Arms (his local).
The event was followed by a live music session in the 'Armpit', and the
memory of one person who attended the event is understandably a bit
hazy, but he thinks it finished at around 4am
