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.

Maidstone Telegraph, Saturday 30 July 1864.

Foresters' Fete at Tovil.

The brothers of Court "Victory" (3477) held their anniversary on Monday last. The members assembled about 12 o'clock, at the "Sun Inn," High Street, from thence they proceeded to Tovil, headed by a band of the West Kent Militis, and the banner of their order. The brothers were decorated with the usual regalia. Arriving at Tovil they paraded the village; ultimately adjourn to a meadow called "Golding's," a most beautiful spot overlooking the valley of Loose, with a view of the surrounding hills. A splendid marquee was here erected by Mr. Harding, host of the "Victory," Tovil, where a first-rate collation was provided, and to which the member sat down about 2 o'clock. Mr. Fancett of the firm of Messrs. Brenchley and Co, presided.

After the brothers had done good justice to the excellent dinner, the Chairman rose to propose the first toast usual on such occasions; and after reverting to the excellent qualifications of her Majesty, gave "the Queen," with three hearty cheers, which unanimously responded to.

Band:- God save the Queen......
