The site of The Crown pub has survived from the 14th century with a
layout that suggests that it had a connection with the church, a meat store,
a coffin maker’s workshop and finally a pub.

Upchurch. Worry Leads to Suicide.
The body of Alfred Castle, 30, landlord of the "Crown Inn," Upchurch,
was on Thursday morning discovered between two haystacks on Lord
Harris's farm at Barksore Hill, Lower Halstow. By his side was a gun,
and the general circumstances lead to the opinion that he had placed the
muzzle of the weapon in his mouth and had pressed the trigger with a
walking stick. A farewell letter (signed "Your worried husband") was
found on the body in which deceased bade farewell to his "dear wife and
children", mentioned that his debts were £750, and asking to be buried
as quickly and as cheaply as possible.

Darts Team's Fine Record.
The "Crown" darts team, winners of the Rainham Darts League, visited
the "Belisha Beacon" on Thursday of last week, and, ably led by their
darts’ dictator, W. Gransden, thoroughly beat the "Beacon" by four legs
to one. The result was not surprising, as no other team in the Medway
district has ever beaten the "Crown" team.
