38 LM21: Shepeau Stow
In 19th-century directories this hamlet was named 'Shephaystow' and 'Shephay Stowe'. In 1855 there existed a mill with a miller, and the Red Last public house. By 1872 the mill housed a standard corn miller who was also a baker. There was a pub called the Mill Inn run by a victualler who was also a brewer and shopkeeper at the same premises. There was a blacksmith, and a shoemaker who also ran a beerhouse. 1885 listings included a publican at the Red Last Inn, a coal dealer, a farmer, a blacksmith, a wind miller and a wave of other tradesmen. By 1933 listed were two farmers, a saddler, a carpenter, and the publican at the Red Last. Within the hamlet was a Methodist chapel with seating for 300, while the surrounding area produced potatoes, wheat and other cereals, and "large quantities of geese fatted for the London and other markets." The Red Last Inn was a brewery pub, extant in 1949, but at length was converted to a private dwelling.
