I believe this had unfortunately closed by 2003. There was certainly
reference to the pub being open in the CAMRA good beer guide of 1999.

From an email received March 2017.
Sophia Haynes was married to Thomas Hall, then married Richard Smith - they
are previously at the "King
Henry the Eighth," Hever.
I have a copy of a letter written by Sophia to her brother in Melbourne,
Australia:-
Sophia states in the letter dated the 25th September 1875; they were one
year out of business. We could see nothing to suit us, so we bought a piece
of ground off Frank, my brother on the Chart and built this house, and
opened it for the sale of beer. We have not tried for a spirit licence. Been
here 9 years now.
