Warwickshire County Record Office
Victuallers Database

Introduction

This database contains details of the licensed victuallers in Warwickshire from 1801-1828. The information has been taken from the series of registers of calendars of Victuallers' Recognizances, QS 36/13-17, in the Warwickshire Quarter Sessions collection. The information has been entered into the database by record office volunteers

The database does not contain images of the registers, but they are available to view at Warwickshire County Record Office. The documents are not suitable for photocopying, so we cannot supply copies of entries, but you are welcome to visit the record office to photograph entries with a digital camera (no flash allowed). For more information on visiting the record office, please click here.
