Fine 6s.

In the 1680s, the Tomlyn family occupied 8-10 Horn Street, and this must be when the building took its present form with the added bay (noted above). Edward Tomlyn was a carrier and small-scale farmer, and his son Thomas farmed on a bigger scale. The house was extended, presumably in the 1670s, to accommodate them both. There was land behind it probably going right back to the Churchyard.

1682 On 3 Nov 1681 Thomas Tomlyn and Elizabeth his wife surrendered … a bay of building next to the door of Edward Tomlyn's messuage and a stable adjoining the Mill house of Thomas Spooner and the messuage in which Edward Tomlyn now or late lived … apart from such of the premisses as Edward Tomlyn, Thomas' father, holds for his life.

Mary Tomlyn married Francis Shaw in 1686 and he died in 1687. His inventory (1687) and hers (1712) show that their house, 6 Horn Street, consisted of hall, chamber, garret and buttery. After Mary's death her daughter Sarah Shaw (who inherited in 1712) continued to live there, but by 1741 the house was being treated as part of The Bull (q.v. for its later history) and its garden was turned into The Bull's outbuildings.

If Pownall and his heirs do not wish to provide this or do not perform the trust honestly and justly in the judgment of Mr Thomas Blake, Thomas Short of Great Horwood and William Firth or the majority of them, then (the surrender is to be) on trust that Pownall and his heirs pay them for Joseph's use £4 p.a.

Pownall Short and Mary his wife, customary tenants, on 5 Jan last surrendered by the steward a messuage in Winslowe, late the estate of Thomas Tomlins, now in the several occupations of Pownall Short, Joseph Norman and John Stevens, containing 3 bays [contignaciones] in the "Front" and 2 towards the rear, the house of Sarah Shaw east, the house of Richard Bigg in the occupation of Nicholas Spooner west.

If they do not find for Joseph as above, or if they do not honestly and justly perform the trust in the opinion of Thomas Short of Great Horwood Baker and William Firth of Winslowe Brazier, then on this trust: that Thomas and Priscilla will pay to Thomas Short and William Firth £4 p.a. for the use of Joseph Short.

To the use of Henry Langley of Leighton Buzzard gent., on condition that if Thomas and Priscilla pay him the full sum of £50 with 5% interest on 22 Nov following at his dwelling-house in Leighton Buzzard, the surrender is to be void.

The building then passed from Thomas and Priscilla Miller to William Dradge of Buckingham, who was probably another mortgagee.
