The following
information was kindly supplied by Clive Webb, see following web site:-
http://www.nonington.com/
Before 1753 the year ran from Ladyday (New Years Day) 25th March to
24th March, the Julian Calendar, so that 11th Jan 1542 is 11th Jan 1543
in the modern Gregorian calendar.
The alehouse was situated near Frogham Street on the north side of the
Barfrestone to Womenswold road about one hundreds yards west of its
junction with Frogham Street. The building was probably built as or
became an alehouse soon after it was built, possibly on top of an older
building. The entrance to the alehouse yard is still clearly visible,
bounded on the west side by a large yew tree, itself probably much older
than the alehouse.
Some remains of the main alehouse building are still visible in the bank
just up the road from the yew tree. Here you can clearly see a section of
brick wall with an external door-way with a metal grilled cellar window
next to it. These remains of the Redd Lyon building show that the
building was at a right angle to the road running into the field where
some original remaining brick built out-buildings adjoining the old
alehouse and parallel to the road would have formed an ‘L' shape around
a front yard with possibly less substantially built structures near by.
This front yard had a deep well, now capped and covered, which was still
in use within living memory.
To allow large horse drawn vehicles to swing easily into the yard from
either direction the bank opposite the entrance has been cut back to
widen the road, the remains of a flint wall built to retain and
strengthen the bank to prevent its collapse are clearly visible, but now
in a sad state of disrepair.
The first licensee of the Redd Lyon was Abraham Dunne who received his
victuallers licence at Wingham Petty Sessions on June 15th 1725. Abraham
was followed in 1729 by Thomas Wraight who stayed until 1736 when Thomas
White took over the licence.
Eight years later in 1744 began a long tenure by the family of Thomas
Gambole, whose surname was spelt variously as Gambrole, Gambrill,
Gamboll or Gambole in assorted documents. He was succeeded in 1782 by
his son, John Gambrell, who six years later died and was succeeded by
“Widow Gambrele”. These variations of the spelling of surnames was
common in a time when most people were illiterate, and the literate
often spelt phonetically.
John Southe took over from the widow in 1795 and kept the alehouse
until Michael Brooks became licensee in 1802, remaining for eighteen
years until John Hoppers tenure began in 1820. In 1833 the Redd Lyon was
renamed The Phoenix, although it was recorded on the 1839 parish tithe
map under its old name, as information for the map came from existing
records and not from an actual survey as with the 1859 map.
