From a list made by Stephen Rouse 1792 transcribed by Wendy James.
"THATCHED HOUSE"
Lived Lamb and his wife. After Lamb died then his wife bought the "Ship"
alehouse at the Blue Houses.
(Plough Sheerness?), which was soon after burnt down. After Mrs Lamb
left "Thatched House her son Thomas Chapman had it and after Mr Chapman
died there his widow married Thomas Lions. After Lions died, she married
Baker, who rented it many years. After he left it Mr Ingleton had it and
after Mr Ingleton the present Mr Brisley hired it.
It was part of Captain Gore's Estate and then his brothers who gave it
to the (?) family of Mitchells. The above Baker is now in the Poor
House. The present house was built in Mr Brisley’s time.

Kentish Gazette, Friday 27th September 1793.
To the gentleman grazers, &c.
October 2nd, at the "Thatched House" in the Isle of Sheppey, an Ewe
will be killed, which had a Lamb cast the 9th of December in a very
unusual way; it came through the rim of the sheep's belly. The Master of
the Ewe is well assured that she carried the foetus about her a whole
year, instead of the usual time of 21 weeks.
He is likewise certain, that she had no communication with any Ram,
except during the riding month of the preceding year. The Lamb is
preserved, and it's teeth in particular resemble those of a 6 month old.
There are many Gentleman expected to view this phenomenon.
