Teston

 

I am hoping this is the correct place as the newspaper gave the location as Teason and that's the closest I can get to the village of Teston. It is also close to Barming, which was another location listed in the advert. I do not know another "George" in this area.

Not a lot know about this house at present, apart from it was mentioned, along with a lot of other public houses in an advert in the Kentish Gazette of 3 October 1770, part of which is shown below.

While delivering the papers he calls at the following named Public-Houses, to collect parcels & orders.

Last week's died at Teston, near Maidstone, Mr. John Prebble, master of the "George Inn," at that place; he has left a disconsolate widow with a large family.
