Notes about this historic site
1 The only reference to this site is from the 1839 tithe map of Easenhall, where a plot of land and buildings here are labelled ‘House, Malthouse, Outbuilding, Yard, Garden and Homestead’. No other references exist although there are two later references to a brewery at the other end of the village.
2 No sign of the site exists today.

Comments
There is a George Fearn in the 1871 census with an occupation of “Brewer” in Easenhall. He was 32 years old. There is no further information for the address, unfortunately, but he was living there with his wife Elizabeth, and five children aged between 8 and ten months. He is also there (still a “Brewer”) in the 1881 census with three additional children but again, no further address details, so it is not possible to know whether he was at this brewery or the other mentioned in the article. By 1891 he had moved to Leicester.
