The original "Bell"
closed in 1736 when it was converted into the poorhouse. This may well have
been its replacement, and perhaps if the nearby church of St. Mary the
Virgin had six bells in its belfry (local knowledge required) perhaps it
gained its name from that.

Kentish Gazette, 8 January 1850.
CHISLETT.
A good dinner of old English fair was given to the singers, ringers,
and Sunday school children in the parish on Christmas day, at the
"Six Bells Inn." The singers and a select party of their friends
amused the company by the display of their vocal powers, the tenors
especially gaining great applause. The party broke up at a
reasonable hour, much delighted with proceedings of the day.

Thanet Advertiser, Friday 19 June 1931.
65 mph chase. Unemployed Chauffeur Fined.
At Ramsgate County Police Court on Tuesday a mobile police officer
stated that he chased the car for just over a mile and a half and
his motorcycle attained 65 miles per hour before he overtook it.
The evidence related to a case in which Edward Lines, a chauffeur,
of Peak Hill, Sydenham, London SE26. was summoned for driving a car
in a Dangerous manner on the Canterbury Road on 25th May.
P.C. Bradley, of the mobile police, who chased the car, said he was
on duty at the Lord of the Manor crossing and the A.A. scout was
directing traffic when defendant cut in on the wrong side of an
Austin 7 which was travelling from Ramsgate to Sarre.
P.C. Bradley added that the Armstrong Siddeley car driven by
defendant went over the crossing at between 30 and 40 mph and if the
smaller car had been travelling at any speed or had turned towards
its near side an accident could not have been averted.
Mr. George Feast, of the "Six Bells," Chislet, the driver of the
Austin 7, said he put his hand out to show that he was going to
slow up before he got to the crossing. The A.A. scout signalled him
on and he was going towards Canterbury when the other car cut in on
the wrong side.
Defendant, who pleaded guilty, said he was told by his employer that
he must get from Ramsgate to Whitstable and back in just over an
hour. When he saw the driver of the smaller car put out his hand he
thought that he was going to turn towards Margate, so he passed him
on the other side.
He had no idea that he was being chased until the police officer
overtook him. As a result of being late he had lost his job and he
had spent all the spare cash he had in travelling to Ramsgate to
attend the court.
Detective Sergeant Avery said defendant was fined 10s. on 17th of
July, 1929, for dangerous driving.
Defendant was fined £2 and ordered to pay 10s. witness' fees. His
licence was endorsed.
Defendant said it would be difficult for him to obtain employment if
his licence was endorsed and the Clerk (Mr. J. Thorne Drury) said
the endorsement was automatic.
Defendant was allowed and month in which to pay.
