After Beaumont saved the house from demolition in 1890 it was bought and occupied by the Coggeshall carrier Charles Pudney and Son - he had continued the business of his father, Daniel Pudney, who had been a Coggeshall to London carrier for sixty years, and members of his family had been London carriers for over century.
March 1876; One of Coggeshall's oldest institutions has become a thing of the past with the removal of Mr Daniel Pudney's wagon from the main London Road and the discontinuance of his bi-weekly journey to London , the last link has been broken connecting us with the old coaching days when George III was King. Through storms and sunshine of many a year, Ruffell's and for the last quarter of a century Pudney's wagon was a well known equipage to Essex folks, with its stalwart men , carefully kept horses and heavy freight, but between Kelvedon and Aldgate this will be met no more. We believe however that an arrangement has been made by Mr Pudney with the Great Eastern Railway Company under which he will deliver the goods from Kelvedon Station, so that the serpentine road from that station to our town will retain the wagon after all and we trust many a load of the various products of man's industry will be delivered by the muscular arms of 'ye brothers Pudney' or their assistants. From the Chelmsford Chronicle.
In 1908 Daniel Pudney sold Paycockes to Noel Buxton.
Date: Between 1890- 1908
