Shipley Boat Inn Occupants - 1891 Census replied on: 10/17/2006 9:00:13 PM Ripley and Heanor 23 )ct 1942 Funeral Report of John Noon licensee Boat Inn Shipley Gate "John Noon died at home on Sunday morning last age 70. He was also a farmer and Horsekeeper and his son William will carry on the concern in its entirity. The Boat Inn has been the home of the Noon family for several generations as far back as the history of the hostelry can be traced. It was claimed by the late Mr Miller Mundy as Lord of the Manor and rebuilt in 1887 when Mrs Noon mother of the deceased was licensee at that time. In 1908 John Noon, then in business as abutcher at marlpoolcame to reside at the Inn and ultimately acquired the propery which includes the Lodge Room as headquarters of Mundy Grove Lodge of Freemasons." Research has showed Robert Noon c. 1800 kept the Boat Inn and is listed in Pigots 1835-but possibly had the Inn for some time before that. Before Robert kept it, it was in the hands of John Noon-but have yet to discover the relationship of Robert and John. The Shipley Boat surely has to hold the record locally for the length of time it was kept by generations one family! The Boat Inn is now called MFN and (the last time I checked)was owned by a member of the group Showwaddywaddy.
