The following information has only been seen to date in the Universal
British Directory of Trade 1793, unfortunately the only information it
contained was the name of the licensee and pub but no address. I have found
no other reference to the pub so far.

On Friday last, Mr. Samuel Nesbitt, master of the "Three Tons" public house,
Chatham, many years Drum Major of the West Kent Regiment of Militia, and
supposed to be one of the first of that profession, on his way to Knowles near
Sevenoaks, in the Maidstone Caravan, was seized with a pain in his stomach, and
alighted at the "Royal Oak," Wrotham Heath, where he called for something to
drink; but before anything could be given him, he was seized with an epileptic
fit, and immediately expired.
His remains, were, on Sunday removed to the "Castle Inn," in this town, and last
night interred at Maidstone Church.
