Upper Street
Tilmanstone
Originally built circa 1700 as two cottages.
According to Bob Hollingsbee, originally the pub was the "Blue
Anchor" but after becoming the "Three Colts" during the 1800s later changed name to the "Three
Ravens" and "Rice Arms"
and eventually the "Ravens". I am
unsure as to what dates the names changed at present.
The pub was sold along with another 11 public houses in neighbouring villages in
1826 for the sum of £500. It is not yet known who sold the pub or who purchased
it.
The premises was owned in 1838 by Hannah Lawrence, and occupied then by William
Carlton Junior, pork butcher and farmer here, who had a business in Dover before
getting into debt and spending some time in the debtors' prison at Dover Castle.
The census of 1851 also mentioned a Margaret Carlton aged 22 living in Upper
Street and being a beer shop keeper. I am assuming the beer shop was this
premises. Also living at the same premises was Thomas age 18 and Michael, age
16, along with their mother Ann age 53. No mention of William in the 1851 census
though.

MONSTER PIG
A "Monster Pig" supposed to be the largest in England - The word
"monster" has been of late exceedingly useful. We have heard of
"monster" meetings, "monster" indictments and so forth. Now it is our
turn to record the existence of a "monster" pig, which weighs no less
than 125 stone, of 8lbs. each, equal to 50 score, or one thousand
pounds! This mammoth of a swing belongs to Mr. Carlton, of Tilmanstone,
pork butcher, and is now to be seen at the "Three Colts" public house,
in that place, whither we advise all admirers of fat stock to repair.

From the Kentish Gazette, 16 June 1857.
Assaulting a Constable.
A man named Neaves was charged with having assaulted Stephen Hudson,
the constable, of Chillenden. The complainant deposed that he was
called upon to take the defendant into custody at Mr. Hogbin’s, the
"Griffin." He resisted, and was very violent. Complainant called the
landlord to assist him while he put the handcuffs on. While doing
so, Charles Railey came up and snatched the handcuffs away, and ran
off with them at the same time advising the defendant not to allow
them to be put on him. Complainant, however, obtained possession of
the handcuffs again, and put them on the defendant, who broke them,
and threatened if he had a knife he would "do" for complainant
The Bench fully committed the defendant for trial at the next East
Kent quarter sessions.
The same defendant was then charged with a second offence, in having
assaulted William March, the landlord of the "Three Colts"
public-house, at Tilmanstone. The complainant gave him into custody,
when he was very abusive and violent, and struck the constable.
Ordered to pay a fine of 10s., and costs, or one mouth's
imprisonment.
