market in Mark Lane & expired in less than one hour leaving a wife and
nine children. A hoyman is a the captain of a hoy, used to transport

Southeastern Gazette, 26 July 1853.
Felonious Assault at Woodnesborough.
Edward Fagg, 18, William Fagg, 21, Edward Swains, 25, Richard Cart,
33, and John Bean, 22, were indicted, the latter for committing a
felonious offence upon the person of Mary Ann Bicker, against her
will, at Woodnesborough, and the four others with aiding and
abetting in the said offence. Mr. Horn prosecuted.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the prosecutrix, a single
woman, was at the "Bull Inn," at Eastry, on the 27th June, and left
that inn between ten and eleven o'clock at night, in company with
two young men named Spinner and Jarvis, and a young woman named Jane
Whitmarsh. Prosecutrix walked with Spinner, and Whitmarsh with
Jarvis. When they came out of the inn they saw the prisoners
standing outside, who followed them. They then went into the "Bells" public-house, as they alleged, for the purpose of getting rid of the
prisoners, who, however, followed them about a mile and a half on
the rood to Eastry, till they arrived at the forge at Woodnesborough.
When they got there the prisoners began to assault Whitmarsh, who,
however, resisted them, and got away to the village, where she
aroused several of the inmates. They then, according to the
prosecutrix's statement, caught hold of her and threw here on the
ground. Four of the prisoners held her down, two of them holding her
arms and two of them her legs, while Bean committed the offence.
Jarvis had gone away and hid himself. Spinner also went away, saying
he did not like what was going on, but returned in time to se Bean
committing the offence, and accompanied her to the "Royal Oak" at
Woodnesborough. The prisoners followed, using very disgusting
language, and saving they would give her 2d. to get them a month's
imprisonment. When they got to the "Royal Oak" the constable, who
had heard cries of " murder," and several persons, had arrived. The
prisoners were violent and wanted to fight. The prosecutrix did not
then make any complaint, as she stated that she was too much
agitated.
The prisoners, in cross-examination and defence, endeavoured to show
that Bicker had been drinking with them at the "Bull" and "Bells"
public-houses for several hours, that she invited them to go with
them on the road, and gave them every possible encouragement to do
what occurred. Swaine denied having anything to do with her at all,
and Spinner stated that when he came back he was standing near and
not touching her.
The prisoners were all found guilty, and in sentencing them his
Lordship said they had been found guilty of a most abominable
outrage upon the prosecutrix, and although it was possible that she
might not be a person of very correct habits and morals, that was no
excuse for their committing such an offence of so unnatural a
character, and it was one in which no allowance could be made. He
then sentenced them each to twenty years' transportation.

From the Kentish Chronicle and General Advertiser, 19 October, 1861. Price 1 1/2d.
SUICIDE AT EASTRY.
On Friday T. T. Delasaux Esq., and a respectable jury held an inquest in
this parish touching the death of George Cook, labourer, who hanged
himself on Thursday morning, in the stable of the “Five Bells” public
house. The first witness called was George Kendall, who deposed that he
saw the deceased in the “Five Bells” public house, at 12 o'clock on
Wednesday night, in a state of intoxication. He (witness) and a
policeman placed him on some straw in the stable. He saw him again at
half-past two on Thursday morning, when he was apparently asleep and
snoring. At a quarter before eight the same morning he went into the
coach-house adjoining the stable where he had left the deceased, and
found him hanging from a beam. He called a policeman, and assisted in
cutting him down. He was then quite dead.
Mr. George Chapman said that he had looked at the body of the deceased,
and identified it as that of George Cook, whom he had known from his
birth. He had been in his employ as general servant eight years. He saw
deceased on
Wednesday evening last, and saw nothing particular in his manner or
appearance. About two years since he was tipsy, and he was then strange
in his behaviour.
P.C. Buss stated that he saw the deceased at twelve o’clock at night in
a room at the “Five Bells,” and took him down stairs and out of the
house. With the assistance of George Kendall he placed him on some
straw, placing his head and loosening his necktie, and look away his
knife and 1s. 1d., and then left him. He with other persons went into
the stable at about half-past two, and he was then apparently asleep, as
he was snoring. He was called on Thursday morning by the first witness,
and found the deceased as described. There was not anything particular
in his conduct on Wednesday night, but he never saw a man more
helplessly drunk in his life.
The jury returned the following verdict:— “That deceased hanged himself,
but there is not sufficient evidence to show in what state of mind he
was in at the time.”

From Liber Estriae; or, Memorials of the Royal Ville and Parish of Eastry, By William Francis Shaw. 1870
The fact of there having been a Roman settlement
here is proved by the Roman graves, containing human bones,
weapons, and ornaments, which have been discovered, from time to time,
in that triangle of ground, in the parish, which is formed by the Lynch,
" the Five Bells," and Butsole Pond. The first recorded discovery of
these remains took place A.D. 1792, and the account of it will be best
given in Mr. Boteler's own words: "In March last (1792), in digging
a cellar in the garden of a cottage belonging to me, eastward of the
highway leading from Eastry Cross to Butsole, I discovered the ancient
burying ground of this neighbourhood. I caused several graves to be
opened, and found, with the skeletons, fibula, beads, knives, umbones of
shields, &c., in one an elegant glass vessel. From other skeletons that
have been dug up in the gardens nearer the Cross, I am of opinion that
they extended on this side the road up to the Cross, now covered
pretty much with houses. I mean at a future time to pursue the
discovery.
The tumuli that formerly covered them have long since been levelled by
the plough. The graves were very thick, in rows parallel to each other,
in a direction from east to west " [Botel. MSS., vol. C.p, 164).
Since Mr. Boteler's day other familiar remains have been brought to
light at different times; and, about the year 1860 or 1861, in the
making
of some alterations in and around Southbank, skeletons were discovered
lying in clay in the bed of chalk.
Several of the objects discovered by Mr. Boteler, in A.D. 1792, as well
as
other familiar remains — Roman and Saxon — found on the same property,
and near the same spot.
The following extracts from the oldest account book of the church-
wardens, which is now extant, furnish us with a complete list, as far as
it goes, of the dates at which our parish has been perambulated: —
1719 Spent at the Five Bells when went the Bounds of the parish £1. 2s.
6d.
1762 May 20 Spent at the Five Bells going the Bounds of the Parish £1.

Parish £3. 2s. 10 1/2d.

One time a tied house of Thompson and Sons, Walmer.
This public house at Eastry possessed 'a record of "Mine Hosts" from 1695,
numbering only fifteen' ('The Walmer Brewery Handbook'), although the list I
have seen at the pub, list 28 from 1675 to 1992.
One reference found is in the Wingham Division Ale Licence list,
which shows the "Five Bells," Eastry, to be re-licensed for the sum of 8 shillings in
1740, the licensee being William Vigden, who incidentally wasn't mentioned
on the list from the passage below.
The next passage is a direct copy from other information displayed in a picture
frame at the pub.
The inn known as the Five Bells at Eastry was built during the reign of Charles
II (1660-1685) in the year 1675. The ancient sign of the Five Bells dates back
to the eleventh century, when inns and taverns stood within the precincts of
parish churches. However many bells a church held, determined the number given
to the title of the inn.
The earliest recorded keeper of the inn is one Nathaniel Woodhams who purchased
the property in 1675, along with six acres of land a barn and commodious
stables. In May of that year Woodhams stood before two justices at Dover and was
granted a licence to administer ales and ciders on certain days and hours set
out in an act of parliament in 1495. Woodhams is recorded as a "fruiterer and
here retayler" of the parish of "Stayple".
In 1692 the property as in the hands of Michael Sampson, who, in February 1693
was granted a wine licence and in October of the same year a full spirit
licence. At the same quarter sessions sitting Sampson registered the inn under
the title of the Five Bells.
The Five Bells is mentioned in the will of one William Pittock drawn up in
1771 in which he decreed that "my tenamente or messuage situate and beinge
within the parish of Eastry, knowne by name and sine of the Five Bells with its
lande and staybles therein belonginge I hereby bequeathe to my foremost son
William, and lete nothinge contrarie to the trewe meaning of mye laste will and
testamente."
At the height of the coaching era, the Five Bells was a recognised pick up
point. Here private and local coaches would await passengers alighting from
through coaches at the Bull Inn. During this period and for many years after the
inn was a posting house where mail was collected an sorted, and quite often the
task of delivering fell upon the shoulders of the resident keeper.
On October 14 1831 one John Dixon and another man set fire to a barn in Eastry
Street. In retracing their steps the authorities found that the two men had been
seen in the Five Bells, only minutes before the blaze started. The two men were
arrested and stood trial at Maidstone. Though local inhabitants believed him to
be more innocent than the other, John Dixon was found guilty of incendiarism and
hanged on Penenden Heath in April 1832, while his friend was acquitted and
freed.
In 1866, the inn was kept by George Foord, grandson of Eastry builder Abraham
Foord who used to dig chalk from the caves near the main street and carry it to
lime kilns.
By 1885 the inn was in the hands of William John Thorne who in Kelly's directory
of 1899 was also said to the assistant overseer & clerk to the parish council.
At the time it was mentioned in Kelly's Directory as a hotel and posting house,
with ample accommodation and parties catered for.
Kelly's Directory 1934 gives the proprietor as R G Hayman who offered
accommodation for motorists and visitors, and provided teas for those who didn't
partake in alcoholic beverages.
The Five Bells has seen and undergone many changes since first it was built but
its historic charm and character remain unchanged. So stay, enjoy the fayre and
reflect on those bygone days.

PROMISE BECOMES A REALITY AT PUB.
 
THE transformation of the Five Bells pub in Eastry is all down to a very
special promise.
Any budding punters can easily see that since Mary Franks took over as
landlady in March a lot of notable changes have been made.
The ivy, which coated the entrance, and the broken sign have disappeared
and been replaced with hanging flower baskets and a new placard bearing
the pub's name.
Walk in and you immediately notice the two bars have been swapped around
with the public bar now on the left and the lounge on the right.
Miss Franks has spent thousands of pounds on renovating her new business
and said her motivation comes from a promise she made to her father on
his deathbed.
“My father died three-and-a-half years ago and I had just recently been
divorced.
“I said to him I would change
my name back to my maiden name and put it above the door of my new pub
so he would live on with me.”
There are other changes too.
An old shed in the back yard has been replaced with a new green space
for children to play in.
The function room has been completely refurbished from being the old
Eastry fire station and has had a new carpet laid and a new coat of
paint.
It will be able to seat 40 people for a hot meal and hold 90 for a
buffet.
However it is important for Miss Franks for the pub to maintain its
atmosphere and function as a place for the community to come together.
With two pool teams, five darts teams, two petanque teams and acting as
a meeting place for the British Legion and the Women's Institute,
community activities are an essential part of the pub's future.
“When I first walked into the "Five Bells" I knew it was the place for
me,” she said.
“It has plenty of character and the changes I have made are designed to
freshen the place up but keep its cosy atmosphere.”
Miss Franks wanted to say a special thank you to her project manager and
brother Reg, her friend Tim and all her friends and family for making
her dream a reality.
RE-LAUNCH FUN
To celebrate the renovation the pub will have its full re-launch on
Saturday. Happy hour is from 7pm to 8pm. The Eastry Band will play in
the function room.
A fun day will be held the following day with bouncy castle, garden
games and live entertainment.

A TASTY CHRISTMAS LUNCH
ADVERTISING FEATURE

The pre-Christmas menu is from November 26 to December 24, and there is
also a different Christmas Day menu served at 2pm.
Two courses until Christmas Eve cost £15.50, or £19.50 for three
courses, with a delicious selection of four starters, four main courses
and also a choice of four desserts.
Coffee and mints are included in the price and there is the added
attraction of a selection of music nights for the Christmas meal,
ranging from rock, pop and ballards to Irish fiddle players and an Elvis
tribute singer. Or why not arrange your big evening to coincide with a
fun bingo night?
The "Five Bells" has a comfortable function room for about 45 people, with
its own bar, and about 30 people can dine in the lounge bar.
Mary said: "We have lots of options at the pub for our Christmas meal
packages. All the food is home cooked and sourced locally, so ring 01304
611188 now or visit Facebook to see what is going on at the pub."
She has been at the "Five Bells" for almost three years and it is a real
community pub.

Christmas meal. Book now."

From an email received 6 February, 2014.
Hi,
Me and my family lived at the pub from '76 – '82. Maurice and Julie
Breach are my parents.
I remember as a child (4 or 5 yrs) filling an old pair of wellies up
with snow that were left by a back door. They belonged to an old fella
who went mad!
Years later I was working nearby and popped into the pub for the
first time since we left in '82 – this was around 1997. I told the
barman that I used to live there and he said you might remember this old
fella.
I got talking to this old boy and he started telling me that one of
us filled his boots up with snow and that he hadn't forgotten. I told
him it was me and he clipped me round the ear!!
He said “You were too small for that back then but you're not now!”
I laughed it off and my mate who was with me was laughing his head
off!
If I get time, I'll email you some photos.
Cheers,
Sam Breach.

Pub's efforts.
The Five Bells in Eastry has raised more than £500 for Cancer Research UK. The pub held a raffle at its Easter beer festival which raised £300.
They also had a fun day on St George's Day with donations for stall
items and a penny jar on the bar. In total they raised £526.02. Landlady Mary Franks said: "We wanted to support the charity anyway and
then a couple of our customers have recently dies of cancer and it made
it even more poignant. "We'd really like to thank our customers for their generosity." |

From an email received 11 August 2015. Hello,
I was reading your website about the "Five Bells" Public House at
Eastry in Kent with interest. I am researching my family tree. I am
descended from the Rammell family of Kent and have come across
references to this pub.
The daughter of Michael Sampson, Susan, born 1675 Eastry married
Thomas Rammell in 1699. Susan Rammell died in 1749 Eastry. She wrote a
will dated 8th Dec 1747. Her son Thomas Rammell (1703-1759) was his
mother's executor and she bequeathed the "Five Bells" pub in Eastry to
him.
I believe that the pub then passed from the Rammell to the Boteler
family from Thomas' last surviving child Elizabeth Rammell. None of
Thomas' children had any issue. I can investigate this more if you are
interested.
Best regards,
Gillian Mc Kenna. |
