Barming Heath
Not a lot know about this house at present, apart from the following
passage from the Maidstone Journal in 1859.

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 28 March, 1835.
Edward Cooper was charged on one of the coroner's inquisitions with
killing and slaying Edward Ledger, at Barming.
It appeared from the statement of several witnesses, that on the 5th of
October last, the prisoner and the deceased came out of the "Kentish
Yeoman" public-house, at Barming, and having stripped, began to fight.
After two or three rounds, the deceased dropped down, and never moved
afterwards. The battle was that the witnesses denominated "a fair
fight."
Mr. Poynder, the medical gentleman who examined the body of the
deceased, not appearing when called upon for his evidence, the jury were
directed to return a verdict of acquittal, as it had not been proved the
deceased died in consequence of the injuries he had sustained.
His lordship remarked that the fight took place on a Sunday, and hoped
that the committing magistrates would provide that the public-house in
question should in future be better regulated, and not be opened for the
assembly of persons on that day.
