DEATH.

EVE, Aug 1, at Brenzett, Mr. John Eve, landlord of the "Fleur-de-Lis," New Romney, aged 56.

 

From the Kentish Gazette, 21 July 1846.

BRENSETT.

On Saturday last an inquest was held at the "Fleur de Lis," Brensett, before Edward Fisher, Esq., on the body of John David Nye, aged 3 years. The child in the momentary absence of its guardian had strayed to a pond only about five rods distance, fell in and was drowned; the poor little fellow was playing with other children in front of the house but a few minutes before, whilst its guardian was preparing its supper; every effort was used to restore animation, but in vain the vital spark had fled.

Verdict—Accidentally drowned.

 

From the Kentish Chronicle 24, December 1859.

DYMCHURCH. CORONER'S INQUEST.

An inquest was held on Saturday at the "Fleur de Lis inn," Brenzett, before Thomas Giles, Esq., coroner, on the body of George Eve, labourer of Brenzett, who was found drowned in a sewer by the side of the road from Brenzett to Ham Sweet. Daniel West landlord of the public house, deposed as follows:-

On Thursday evening, about six o'clock, I sent the deceased to Mr. Payne's for a shoe of mine, which was being repaired. He was not quite sober at the time, and from his not returning I went in search of him but could not find him.

Richard Smith deposed:— I work on the roads at Brenzett. On Friday morning I looked along the sewer near the Horse Bridge, and saw part of the deceased’s garment in the ice. I broke it and with assistance got him out. He was dead.

The jury returned a verdict of found drowned.

 

Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald, 8 January 1870.

NEW ROMNEY.

At the Petty Sessions on Monday, Mr. George Flisher, landlord of the "Fleur de Lis," Brenzett, was summoned at the instance of the Romney Marsh Guardians for neglecting to have his child vaccinated. It appearing that Mr. Flisher had complied with the Act, the summons was withdrawn upon payment of 9s. 6d the expenses.

 

I am informed that the pub closed some time after 2009. I believe it is now (2018) being operated as a coffee shop, delicatessen and cafe with three residential flats above.
