2 Church Fields

Greenwich

Above photo, showing the Painters Arms looking toward on the right Skelton lane. Now Roan Street. The Painter Arms was first known to me by just 2 Churchfields house, owner Messingham Shepherd 1727-1784. He was a carpenter also my husbands 6 X Grandfather. He built it, so it started life as a home not a pub, It has been many thing's over the years a pub is just one. I heard a story that it was called the "Painter's Arms" after a man named John Painter who was a Churchwarden at St Alfeges. From Algela Durham.

Above photo, date unknown by Ian Chapmen.

The pub closed, date unknown and is now in residential use.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.
