The reason for my interest in this pub is that my grandad (Arthur William Chaplin) was born there on September 29th 1885 - at least I'm pretty certain he was. Certainly his father James Chaplin was named as a Beer House Keeper there on the 1881 census and his father, Frederick Chaplin (my great-great-grandfather) had the same title on the 1871 census. James Chaplin was still there in 1882 as he's listed on that year's Kelly's Directory for Kent. Later that decade the family moved to Redhill in Surrey though I'm not sure exactly when that would have been. *
