It operated on Wednesdays and Saturdays with the Norwich destination of the Nag\u2019s Head in St Stephens.&nbsp; The return journey to Wreningham then set out at 2pm.&nbsp; Perhaps the driver had enjoyed a break inside the Nag\u2019s Head between the two halves of his trip?&nbsp; John Lemon\u2019s Carrier service also called at Swardeston, Mulbarton, Bracon Ash and Hethel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Lemon (also spelt &#8220;<em>Leman&#8221; <\/em>and sometimes \u201c<em>Lammon<\/em>\u201d) 1727 \u2013 1810, was a local landowner and probably of some means.\u00a0 Did he operate this carrier service, himself, or did he employ someone to do it for him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Lemon did not enjoy exclusivity.&nbsp; The same publication shows Norwich \/ Tacolneston carrier, Noah Nicolls, who called in at Wreningham during his own \u201ccarrier\u201d round trips.&nbsp; He was also operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays: his return from the city (at the later time of 4pm) left from The Huntsman on Hog Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know from the Directories that all the carriers used Inns (also employed as their booking offices), at the Norwich-end of their journeys.\u00a0 This being the case, perhaps the many village collection \/ dropping off points were public houses?\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to understand what alternative village calling points might have been \u2013 especially for carriers passing through a village to a further destination. \u00a0NB\u00a0 Wreningham\u2019s Bird in Hand is not believed to have opened until the 1790s &#8211; begging the question about Wreningham\u2019s original collection \/ dropping off point.\u00a0 Might it have been John Lemon\u2019s home?\u00a0 So, where would Noah Nicholls have stopped, in Wreningham, between 1783 and the early 1790s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1830 Norfolk (Pigots) Directory does not specifically list Wreningham as a carrier destination or even a referenced stopping off point.\u00a0 However, business is business, and we might assume the Norwich \/ Ashwellthorpe, Norwich \/ Hapton and\/or Norwich \/ Buckenham services would have called into Wreningham when passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1854 Norfolk (Whites) Directory doesn\u2019t make specific reference to Wreningham, either.\u00a0 Nevertheless, there were return services running from Norwich to Ashwellthorpe (Saturdays), to Bunwell (Saturdays) and to Forncett (Wednesdays &amp; Saturdays) \u2013 so Wreningham was probably well catered for.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign- uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-block-05258a03 uagb-columns__columns-1 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-bf928e30\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/wreninghamheritage.uk\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/03\\\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-13062&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:1750,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:573,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1750\" height=\"573\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized.jpg 1750w, https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized-1024x335.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized-768x251.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wreninghamheritage.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Norwich-Dep-Inns-Carriers-1854-Directory-into-3-columns-resized-1536x503.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1750px) 100vw, 1750px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge image\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-0-color\">The list of Norwich Inns [split from a single long column into three] used by the many Carrier Services listed in the 1854 Norfolk (Whites) Directory<\/mark><\/em><\/strong>. <strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-0-color\"> Each individual Inn seems to have been given its own number.
