Hi
I can share with you my success today in locating the bakery of my ancestor Joshua Joyce in 1700.
I was already aware as stated on the website Exploring Surrey's History
http://www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/themes/places/surrey/waverley/godalming/godalming_museumthat the museum was a bakery for 370 years.
I looked at a Document Selling or perhaps leasing the property from Thomas Jessey junior to Joshua Joyce.
Thomas Jessey Junior (described as a yeoman) had apparently come into the building from his Uncle Thomas Jessey senior, a baker.
The key part of the document reads
"... all that Messuage, Tenement... ... situate and being in the High Street of Godalming aforesaid, betweene the messuage of William Smith Shopkeeper on the East pte whereof, and the Tenement Newergate in the occupation of one John Woodier on the West pte thereof , and butteth on the High Street of Godalming aforesaid towards the North and the tenement tenant Markethouse there. "
The present building was presumably two shops in the past. It is exactly in the position described (the Pepperpot was built on the site of the old markethouse), and I have even been in the building
