Scope and content
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.
