1976 saw this pub change name to the "Lifeboat."

 

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 21 September, 1839.

On Thursday last, a Meeting took place at the "True Briton," for the purpose of establishing a Burial Society in this neighbourhood. A committee and principle officers were then chosen to preside during the year. The above society is similar to those already instituted in different parts of the country; and we are happy to state, that the same is patronized by many of the leading gentry of the village, who have also become annual subscribers of 10s. each. The numerous applications leave no doubt that the number, viz. four hundred and twenty, will be soon completed.
