History
In the year 1646, Samson Home, vicar of St. Mary's church came to
reside at "The White Horse." With the coming of the reformation in 1660,
Samson, a supporter of Cromwell and the commonwealth, opposed the church
and was ejected from office in 1662. He died alone and penniless here in
1669. It was during the 1956 alterations the inglenook fireplace that
had been bricked up since 1740, was uncovered. Since that date many a
pint glass has fallen on the shelves only to land upright and unbroken.
Is Salmon trying to tell us something! Also during the alterations in
1956, two complete and perfectly preserved male skeletons were found
under the kitchen floor - at a depth of two feet.
General supposition is that they were either soldiers who fell in the
battle at Chilham during the Wat Tyler rebellion, or the much older
remains of men buried in the pre-Christain era.
The skeletons now rest in the churchyard of St. Mary's, Chilham,
where they were given a Christian burial by the vicar after the
coroner's inquest had pronounced them to be Ancient Bones and not the
result of undetected crime!
