Above matchbox, circa 1980s, kindly sent by Debi Birkin. |
I have also seen reference from vestry meetings written in the Gillingham
Chronicles by a Mr. Baldwin that
mentions the "Three Mariners" as early as 1766.

Southeastern Gazette, 10 May 1853.
Thomas Knight, landlord of the "Three Mariners" at Rainham,
appeared to answer the complaint of Thomas Redman Jenner, of Hartlip,
watchman, for opening his house on Sunday, the 17th April, for the
sale of beer, before twelve o’clock at noon. It appeared that on the
day in question the complainant went to defendant’s house in the
morning, and found two men there drinking beer.
John Clark, sergeant of the 29th regiment of foot, was called by
defendant, and stated that he was one of the men, and that he was in
search of deserters at the time, and wanted some refreshment.
Fined £2 and costs.

Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 28th May 1872.
Petty Sessions. The monthly Petty Sessions were held on Monday week,
before E. Twopenny, Esq., Rev. G. B. Moore, J. D. Dyke, Esq. and W.
Water, Esq.
William Jenkins, of the "Man of Kent" beer house, Rainham, James Akhurst,
of the "Three Mariners" public house, Lower Rainham, and William
Stephens, of the "Railway Arch" Beer House, Sittingbourne, were severely
charged with keeping their houses open for the sale of beer at
prohibited hours on Sundays.
Mr Hayward appeared for Stevens and contended that his client was not
liable on the ground that the room in which the parties were drinking,
which form part of a cottage adjoining the defendants house, but with
which there was an internal communication with the beer house, was
underlet to a man named Terry.
The magistrates considered the separation between the rooms was
insufficient. The Bench considered all three cases proved.
Those of
Jenkins and Akhurst were adjourned till next month for the production of
their licences.
Stevens was fined £2 and 10s. costs.

From an email received 9 May 2020.
Hello,
I am a descendant of Thomas
Wheatley and Thomas Dennis from Rainham. During my family history
research I found information that had been passed down, that the "Three
Mariners" who built the Inn in about 1820 were Thomas Dennis, Thomas
Wheatley and a third associate. My 2nd Great Grandfather was also Thomas
Wheatley born Rainham 1827 and his mother was Elizabeth Dennis.
I hope this may be of some interest to you.
Regards,
Brian Lamb.
