From the South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 24 November 1846.
Hollingbourne burglary.
On Monday night, or early on Tuesday morning, some thief or thieves got
into the "Windmill Hill Inn," kept by Mr. Gladdish, and
stole therefrom six silver teaspoons, marked M.W.G., two table cloths,
and about 2s. in silver and copper. We understand that the
parishioners intend to appoint watchmen for the winter months.

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Tuesday 11 January 1853.
The annual smoking club dinner came off at the "Windmill Inn," on Monday
last, when Mr. B. Roper. Junior, most ably presided, and Mr. G.
Harrison, with his usual good humour and wit officiated as vice.
This society, consisting of respectable Farmers and Tradesmen of the
neighbourhood, has been established for upward of half a century, and one
of the members, who was present, (Mr James West, sen.) has regularly
attended it for the long period of fotry years. The health of Her
Majesty, Prince Albert, and every branch of the Royal Family, with every
other loyal toast was duly honoured. The evening's divisions bore
testimony to the good and brotherly feeling which constitutes the
character of the men and gentlemen. The excellent dinner and it's
necessary accompaniments, together with a kind of tension of Mr. and
Mrs. Sivyer, merited and received the fullest appropriation of the
numerous guests.

Maidstone Telegraph, Saturday 3 June 1871.
Hollingbourne. Club Anniversary.
On Monday last the members of the United Men of Kent Benefits Society
celebrated their anniversary at the clubhouse, the "Windmill Inn." The
members of the society met in the morning and headed by the Sutton brass
band, under the direction of Mr. A. Maytum; and with colours flying and
a garland of flowers, paraded the village, also visiting some of the
houses of the gentry in the neighbourhood. Then they proceeded to church,
where and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. G. Gibson, M.A.
After the service at the church a first class dinner was provided by
Host George Humphrey, to which about 80 sat down, the Rev. W. G. Gibson
presiding, who was supported by Messrs J. Taylor, W. Marshall, and Isaac
Weston. The Rev. Chairman proposed the toast of "Success to the United
Men of Kent Benefit Society," which was ably responded to by Mr. W.
Warman, the secretary. It appears from the balance sheet that although a
large amount has been paid for sickness during the past year, the
receipt still exceeded the expenditure, and there is a good reserve
fund. Several gentleman in the neighbourhood have subscribed liberally
to the funds of the society. After dinner and an adjournment was made to
the green at the back of the house where the usual old English games
were indulged in, not only by the members of the club, but by a number
of visitors. A number of the inmates of the Whiteheath Union were
present, for the entertainment of whom a gentleman subscribed a liberal
sum of money.

Kent & Sussex Courier 14 December 1906.
BEARSTED POLICE COURT. MONDAY. FALSE PRETENCES.
Edward Ernest Cross of Dover, was charged with obtaining 3s, by false
pretences from Henry Sutton, of "Windmill Inn," Hollingbourne, on
December 3rd.
From the evidence it appeared that prisoner told him he was in the
employ of Mr. Palmer, of Stockbury, and was looking for some ponies
which had strayed. He further stated that they were on Mr. Fremlin's
estate, and that the bailiff refused to give them up unless 3s., the
expense of keeping them was paid. He, therefore, asked Mr. Sutton to
lend him the 3s. This he did. The tale however, proved to be false, and
prisoner was sentenced to one month's hard labour.
