Situated at the end of Golden Square, it was originally a 16th century
barn, converted into an ale house in 1762. It is now a private residence
aptly named Plough Cottage.
During the second half of the 19th century it was run by mother and
daughter, Elizabeth and Sarah Murrell, who were referred to simply as
retailers of beer.

From the Courier, 13 July 1917.
WEST KENT COMPENSATION AUTHORITY.
The West Kent Compensation Authority met at the Sessions House,
Maidstone, on Thursday. Mr. Coles Child presiding.
Mr. Bracher also applied for the renewal of the license for the “Plough”
Beer-house, Golden Square, Tenterden, owned by Messrs, Edwards and Sons,
and licensed to Arthur Thomas Checksfleld. Mr. Ellis opposed the renewal. Sergt. Buss gave particulars of other houses in the neighbourhood,
stating that there were four fully licensed houses and one beer-house
with better accommodation within a 600 yards radius. A rather better
trade was done then at the “Gardeners' Arms,” but the house was not
required. In answer to Mr. Bracher, the witness admitted that the “Plough” served
a roadside purpose. The licensee stated that he had held the house nearly eleven years, and
his trade was about five barrels per week. The license was refused. |
