Georgius spent all of his life in North Lopham and was the landlord of The Kings Head In North Lopham for a majority of the time. The King's Head is still open to this day. On an old family tree I have, he is also known as "The Wig Man", but I am still not sure what this is in reference to. In documentation that I have obtained he is listed as a linen weaver, inn-keeper and farmer. When he became a Methodist he gave part of his land and barn to the Wesleyan Methodist Church in order for them to hold services there. His son George (1757-1837) continued this practice as a Methodist using the Manor House land and barn for methodist gatherings.
Georgius is mentioned in the book by Michael Friend-Serpell called "The History of the Lophams".
