It may be expected that there were several inns at Higham in the later medieval period. As yet the distribution of most of the inns and alehouses has not been established although several have been located. It is clear from the survey of 1737 that some at least of the inns and alehouses were distributed through the town from North End to the southern end of Newlands.
