After finding mention of a passage in the Kentish Post or Canterbury News, 1730, at the "Sign of the Globe" I assumed this to be the "Globe Hotel." However, the Lambeth Palace Library have records that show the following:-

From records held in Lambeth Palace Library.

The deeds are held under the TA references shown. The starred number is the number in the 19th century rentals held at Lambeth.

TA 276/1-30 *195.

Leases from 1674 to 1853, but précis gives no indication as to whether it was the "Globe" throughout. As it was at the South End, it was obviously not the same house now called the "Globe Hotel."

Deal Borough Records show the following entry:- MS Council's Opinion 18th November 1776 - by Geo. Rowe, Inner Temple.

In the town and Borough of Deal are 30 Publick Houses including taverns and Inns, 18 whereof have stabling fit for the accommodation of Dragoons and horses and the other 12 have no stabling at all.

These dragoons (12 or 13 in all) were to assist the Officers of the Revenue at Deal.

The following houses refused to billet the Dragoons for lack of suitable accommodation.

The Globe was mentioned in this list. Stephen Norris was the licensee.

Suspected Child Murder.

In consequence of the discovery on Wednesday last, by Mrs. Castle, the wife of a tailor residing in the yard of the "Old Globe" lodging-house Beach-street, of the body of a newly-born baby, which had been thrown down the privy, an inquest was held on Thursday, before S. Mercer, Esq., borough coroner, when the evidence adduced shewed that Mr. Carter was aroused about three o’clock on Wednesday morning by strange groans and cries, like those of a female in pain. He got up, dressed himself, and went into the yard, whence the sounds seemed to proceed, but could discover nothing, and fancying that the noise had come from the premises of the "Old Globe," he returned to bed. Mrs. Castle, the same morning, at a later hour, enquired of Mrs. Pordidge, proprietor of the lodging-house, if any person had been ill during the night, and on relating what she and her husband had heard, they went together to the privy, where they found the head of an infant. Police-constable Redsut was then called in, and on making search found the trunk of a newly-born male child, with a wound between the shoulders, which had separated the spine, so as to allow the head to be pulled off. Mr. W. Hulke, surgeon, subsequently examined the body, and was of opinion that the birth was a premature one, at five or six months, and that it was doubtful whether or not the infant had been born alive. Esther Allen, late servant to Mr. E. Fairbrass, of Canterbury, who had been lodging for about a month at the "Old Globe," and who was suspected to be the mother, was then examined by Mr. Hulke, who found that she had recently given birth to a child, but no further evidence could be obtained as to the circumstances. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of "Found dead, but there was not sufficient evidence to prove whether it was born alive or dead."
