(Wickhambreaux)

Canterbury

 

This pub was renamed the "Hooden Horse" on 21st July 1956 in accordance with the breweries instructions.

 

This extract is from the book "Inns of Kent"; Whitbread & Co. Ltd.; 1948 :-

Wickhambreux (pronounced locally Wickhambreu-ex) is a picture-postcard village, complete with green, church, stream and mill house, rectory and squire's house all very correct and according to Hoyle. The "Swan Inn," however, must be sought, never a very tedious job in a village like Wickhambreux; and when found will be just another lovely Kentish house, warm weather-tiled walls and tiled roof, unostentatiously minding its own business now as ever.

 

Further details hopefully to follow.
