Key dates and events
17th Century
13 August 1628
An early mention of our pub, if not our road, appears in this charitable entry: "William Thare, will,
13 August 1628, whereby a rent-charge of £3 3s issuing from three cottages in Denmark Street, and
land containing 1 a. 1 r. 11 p. near the 'Three Frogs' in London Road, was granted for distribution
amongst six decayed tradesmen, 10s. apiece, and 3s for the expenses of the trustees."
18th Century
1761
The Rocques Survey of Berkshire map shows a building called Froghall and just north west of it is an
area called Froghall Green. Co(p)pid Beech Lane is shown (now the London Road). "Froghall"
appears on the map roughly where the pub is but the un-named building a little further south is
possibly what we NOW call Frog Hall.
