The Oare Mill was built around about 1800, called Tower Mill and is five
storeys high. It's purpose was to grind corn, the cap being the largest of
any mills in Kent measuring 17ft by 14ft, and was still working as late as
1919.
The pub ceased trading in January 2011 and was sold along with the Mill
Cottages for redevelopment.

From the Dover Express, Friday 19 August, 1868.
FELONY.
On Monday, before Major Hall, Edward William Salmon, painter, of
Abbey Street, Faversham, was charged with stealing a brass
candlestick, value 1s. 6d., the property of William Amos, landlord
of the "Windmill," Oare, on the 14th instant. The prisoner and about
twenty others, went to the "Windmill," and after they had left the
candlestick was missed. Some of the prisoner's friends were accused
of stealing the candlestick and they intimated that the prisoner had
taken it. P.C. Kind apprehended the prisoner, who said he had put
the candlestick "up the spout." After the prisoner had been locked
up, the constable found the candlestick in the hedge between
Faversham and Oare.
