| History | |

|
|
|
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
