Church Street,
St. Mary's
Sandwich
Doing business in 1458 as the "Chequers". (Became the King's Head in 1675).
It appears to have been tied to a brewery owned by the prominent Sandwich
family, the Wyborns to 1822. In 1764 William Wyborn, brewer, died and his
business was left to his daughter Mary, who had married John Bradley. Their son,
William Wyborn Bradley was born in 1752 William being described as "common
brewer of Sandwich." William was elected Mayor Sandwich in 1785 and died in
1788. The Sandwich brewery and its tied estate of 27 pubs was eventually put up
for "sale by private contract" by William's son (also called William Wyborn
Bradley, born 1779) as advertised in the Kentish Gazette on 10th May 1822.
