Not a lot is known about the pub under this name other than to suggest it
was previously called the "Malt Shovel"
prior to 1791 and changed name to the "New
Inn" in the 1820s.

I have just added the pubs of Faversham after a visit to the hop festival
in 2012.
I will be adding further information as time allows, but with my site
getting ever larger, time spent on each pub is being watered down
unfortunately. Your information, photos, old or new and licensee names and
dates is much appreciated.
