MILTON NEXT SITTINGBOURNE.
The annual meeting of the Mourners’ Friend Society was held at the
"White Hart Inn," on Tuesday, the 12th of February. The abstract of the
preceding year's account was laid before the meeting, which stated that
£154 15s. had been paid for 22 deaths, and that since the commencement,
a period of nine years, there had been £1,209 15s. paid for deceased
members, thereby enabling them to be decently interred, and a few pounds
left for the relatives; thus making manifest the benefit arising to
persons belonging to such societies, where they pay only six-pence for
each death.

From an email received 12 June 2019.
In 1784 the landlord of the White
Hart, Milton (Regis) appears to have been one John Jefferies, who gave
an 'ordinary' (i.e. a cold lunch) on the occasion of a cricket match on
August 5th, Leeds and Broomfield (with one man given) v. Milton (with 3
given). A 'given man' was a player from another team or village.
Regards,
Ian Maun.
