This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."

As such I haven't found a picture of the pub yet, and to date have not a lot of other information. Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

 

South Eastern Gazette, 18 September, 1860.

MAIDSTONE PETTY SESSIONS.

SATURDAY. (Before C. Ellis, Esq., in the chair and R. Cooper Esq.)

A FEMALE SENT TO GAOL FOR THE 28TH TIME.

Ann Chatfield, 26, an unfortunate, was charged by Rebecca King with assaulting and beating her, on the 16th inst., and also with breaking a pane of glass at the "Compasses," value 16s. The prisoner, it seemed, had been confined in Maidstone gaol no fewer than 27 times, and had only been released on the previous morning, when she went to the "Compasses Tap," and made a disturbance. On being ordered out of the house by the servant, Rebecca King, she assaulted her, and thrust her own fist through a pane of plate glass.

Two months’ hard labour.
