PUB LIST PUBLIC HOUSES Paul Skelton

Earliest 1851-

Red Lion

Latest 1871+

Maidstone Road

Headcorn

 

I am hoping that this "Red Lion" is situated in Headcorn and not from one of the nearby villages.

I am informed that after Joseph died, his wife continued to run the pub. She died in Headcorn in 1877. The pub was referred to as a beer-house but had boarders living there as well.

The 1851 census gave the address as "Near the Churchyard."
