The Pheasant

The Pheasant was demolished about 2008 as part of a deal to rebuild the house, which was in a poor state of repair. It was on the Tingrith Road, on the left when going towards Tingrith.

From To When Notes
22 Feb 1879 Pheasant available to Let, with 8 acres grass
James Linnell 4 April 1879 Pheasant “beer-house”
Henry Trice 15 Oct 1889 Henry applied for endorsement of licence but was refused because he didn’t bring the physical licence to court
William Robert Clarke John Marlow Tearle of Luton Road, Toddington 18 Dec 1931 Temporary transfer

The Pheasant wasn’t listed as a pub on the 1765 Map or the 1806 map.

The first mention I have found in the British Newspaper Archive is in 1878 – predictably, a man was prosecuted for being drunk there.

22 January 1878, Leighton Buzzard Observer and Linslade Gazette

Ephraim Brinkler, labourer, of Westoning, was summoned for having been disorderly on the licenced premises of the Pheasant Inn, at Eversholt, on the 10th inst., and refused to quit such premises when called upon to do so by the landlord. He was fined 1s. 6d. and … 6d. costs.

James Linnell got into deep trouble.
