Tenure was described by the operator as held with the Village Hall. No conveyance, trust deed, or lease was produced. Forestry Commission land is understood to adjoin. The boundary on the tree side is post-and-wire with a timber stile. The Authority should not assert ownership. For licensing purposes it is sufficient that a person is ‘occupier’ of the land; the Committee appears to act as occupier in the summer months and the Hall trustees at other times. That split is not documented.
