Hare and Hounds, Harlton (RGL2025)

Hare and Hounds, High Street, Harlton

History of Hare and Hounds

Listed Building

Public house. Late C18. (Historic England)

Henry Matthews is listed as the only publican in Harlton in 1901 so it seems very probable that he was working at the Hare and Hounds.

1901

Henry Matthews, 38, publican, b London

Sarah A, 39, b Yeovil

Henry E, 13, b London

Kate F, 12, b London

In 1891 the family were at 59 Bell Street Marylebone where Henry was a pawnbroker. Henry junior was born in 1887 and died in Cambridge in 1977. In 1911 he was living in Ipswich as a motor coach mounter.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
