This inn was located in Magdalene Street immediately north of Old Lodge (it's southerly wall where the doors of Benson Hall now open on to the enclosed courtyard), at what used to be 6 Magdalene Street. This inn is listed in a vintner's register of 1511 and was acquired from Trinity College by Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk, in 1605. He probably gave it to Magdalene shortly after.
This inn was formerly known as 'The Green Peel' and was located at 7 Magdalene Street where Benson Hall now stands (the name had changed by 1748). It disappears from Commercial Directories in 1873 though it may have survived in some form until A. C. Benson demolished a row of medieval buildings in 1912 prior to rebuilding.
c.1545 Miles Prance a plot of land and in c.1548 he bought the four old chantry cottages nearby and set about building the inn that became the Half Moon. This was completed in 1552.
In 1580 Miles Prance died and left the Half Moon to his son John.
In 1628 Magdalene College bought Half Moon from Simon Prance.

In the box is a letter addressed to Dr Richard Luckett giving an overview of the history of the site and which leases in this bundle seem out of place (Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6).
This inn was located at 7 Magdalene Street where Benson Hall now stands. In 1596 it had a frontage of 52 feet and might have possessed a garden and bowling green. In 1615 it was bought for Magdalene by the Master, Barnaby Goche. By 1748 it was known as 'The King's Head'. It disappears from Commercial Directories in 1873 though it may have survived in some form until A. C. Benson demolished a row of medieval buildings in 1912 prior to rebuilding.
This inn was located at 11 Magdalene Street (now under the Master's front garden). The first mention in records dates to 1457. It was purchased for the College in 1615 by the Master Barnaby Gouche. It disappears from the records in the 17th century.
