Alehouse recognizances

The Buckinghamshire Justices of the Peace issued licences to public houses. Their records, called Alehouse Recognizances, have survived from 1753-1828. They show that Winslow had over 20 inns and beerhouses in the 18th century.

This is the first year in which the register recorded the names of the sureties (3rd column) and the amounts of the recognizances. In most cases the landlord put up £30 and the surety £20, but if the landlord did not provide the £30, two sureties both had to do so. The landlords often stood as surety for each other.
