The pub can be traced back to 1665 in an agreement between Daniel Birkman (a distiller), a Thomas Buffield and Christopher Longley, a gentleman of Bearsted. Mr Longley was paid £200 for; ‘All that messuage or tenement known by the signe of the Oake Inn, one stable, two gardens, one orchard, one piece or parcel of land belonging containing estimated two acres' A further history is on display in the ‘Olde Smoking Room' at the Oak. Local word of mouth maintains that, historically, parts of the Oak (now the kitchens) were once a holding Gaol for the local courtroom. Some Famous Inhabitants of the Village: Baroness Orczy (1865 – 1947), creator of The Scarlet Pimpernel; Alfred Percy (“Tich”) Freeman (1888 – 1965), Kent leg spin bowler and the only man to take 300 wickets in an English season. He lived at a house called Dunbowlin.
The pub was sold to Shepherd Neame in 2016.
