From the East Kent Order Book, Midsummer (Jun 1657)

On the petition of Benjamin Dove of Harbledown and a certificate made on his behalf it is ordered that he be licensed to keep a victualling house at the sign of the "Rose" in Harbledown and he is to go to a justice of the peace with two good sureties and enter into a recognizance to observe such articles as ought to be observed by victuallers.
