Bucks Herald, Saturday 22 May 1897.
Sudden death of the Rector of Adstock.
On Thursday an inquest was held at the "Hussar Inn," Garlinge, near
Margate, on the body of the Rev. T. Cockran, rector of Adstock, Winslow,
who died suddenly the previous day. For some time past the deceased has
suffered from an infection of the heart; and on the 3rd of this month he
went to the Clergy Rest at Margate, for the benefit of his health.
Acting on the advice of the Rev. H. Woods Tindall, the chairman of that
institution, he consulted Mr. Thornton, surgeon, who confirmed the
opinion of his own medical man, which his nephew (Mr. W. R. Carter, of
Watford Grammar School) said was well-known to his family. During his
stay in Margate he appeared to derive great benefit from the tonic air;
and on Wednesday morning, after conducting prayers at the Clergy Rest,
and partaking of a fish breakfast, which he greatly enjoyed, he started
for a walk to Westgate-on-Sea and back, a distance of about 2 miles; and
on the return journey, when facing a strong easterly wind, he was seen
by a coastguardsmen names Pearse, while on the cliff, to fall forward on
his face. He breathed once or twice, and then expired, as Dr. Flint
stated, from heart disease. The jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the medical evidence.
The deceased clergyman leaves a widow, but no family.

Thanet Times, Tuesday 6 April, 1965.
He was 7 when he pulled his first pint.
Former Margate footballer and swimming enthusiast, Mr. George Chapman, now
licensee at the "Hussar Hotel," Margate, was 7 when he pulled his
first pint.
This was when his parents ran the "Star Inn," Westwood, a house
previously managed by his grandparents.
Mr. Chapman was born at the "Star" and learned to handle the
pumps at, as they say, an early age. Regular custom came from the
men employed as a nearby brickfield who used to visit the pub for 20
gallons at a time and they measured their wages in terms of beer.
Bitter was then 3d. or 4d. a pint.
His parents later moved to the "Hare and Hounds" at Westwood,
where his father held the licence for 29 years.
"I had a licence there for 8-years, so it was in the family for
37 years," said Mr. Chapman.
"My father left me to my own discretion and I didn't enter the
trade until after the war in my own right, although I was born into
it," he said.
One of his first jobs was as an apprentice fitter with the old
Isle of Thanet Tramways, and he later became a traveller for a firm
of wholesale tobacconists.
The last war saw him as a sergeant fitter in the Royal Air Force
and after demob he decided to make his own way in the trade. "I
thought I might as well drink in my own pub as someone else's," he
said.
A keen sportsman, Mr. Chapman used to play water polo for Margate
Swimming Club and was a full back with Margate Football Club in the
Arsenal nursery days before the war.
He took over the licence of the "Hussar" in 1960 and was for
8-years Secretary of the Thanet Licensed Victuallers' Association
and 2 years as president of that organization. He is now in his
second year as President of the Kent Federation of Licensed
Victuallers' Associations.
