Pauline,

Have you looked at the Directories on line?

There is a George MUNNS is listed as a beer retailer & market gardener in Horseloe Street, Potton P. O., directory 1854

And Henry, John MUNNS etc are listed as market gardeners in various directories in Horslow Street & Orchard Hill right up into the 20th C ...there are possibly earlier reference also [ I haven't looked through earlier ones]:
