Scope and content
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.
