Welcome

Welcome to Even More Tales From The Tap Room.

Core dates and information on licensees tenure are taken from Martin Easdown and Eamonn Rooney`s two fine books on the pubs of Folkestone, Tales From The Tap Room and More Tales From The Tap Room - unfortunately now out of print. Dates for the tenure of licensees are taken from the very limited editions called Bastions Of The Bar and More Bastions Of The Bar, which were given free to very early purchasers of the books.

Easiest navigation of the site is by clicking on the PAGE of the pub you are looking for and following the links to the different sub-pages. Using the LABELS is, I`m afraid, not at all user-friendly.

Contrast Note

Whilst the above-mentioned books and supplements represent an enormous amount of research over many years, it is almost inevitable that further research will throw up some differences to the published works. Where these have been found, I have noted them. This is not intended to detract in any way from previous research, but merely to indicate that (possible) new information is available.

General Annual Licencing Meeting – Special Sessions

Applications for new licence was made by Mr. Minter, and granted, for the following person; Thomas Field, Castle, Foord

Folkestone Observer 19-11-1864

Tuesday November 15th:- Before Captain Kennicott R.N. and W. Bateman, James Tolputt and A.M. Leith Esqs.

Richard Baker appeared on summons, charged with having in his possession a lurcher dog, property of John Richardson.

John Richardson, licensed victualler and general dealer, living at Hythe, said he bought the dog about three months ago. He was standing at his door one morning when Mr. Allen, who served meat at the camp for Mr. Major, passed the door, having a man with him, and dog. He asked 5s. for the dog, but witness ultimately bought it for 4s. and a pot of beer. It was a middle sized lurcher dog, answering to the name of Ben. The man he bought it of seemed to be a looker, and he said he bought it to look after sheep, but it was too fast for sheep. Witness had the dog about two months, and one day, going to Broad Street with the dog, a man claimed the dog. Witness brought the dog with him to Folkestone, and left it unfastened under the manger with his horse in the Rose stables. Had not seen the dog till that morning, but had advertised it in the Folkestone Observer. Last Sunday his son saw the dog with defendant.

William Ellen, butcher, confirmed prosecutor`s statement as to the purchase of the dog. Did not know the man the dog was bought of, as he had merely given him a ride in his cart on the road. He seemed to be a drover.

Defendant said the dog was his. He bought the dog of his nephew in Foord, giving a donkey for it and a sovereign. He got drunk at Romney Fair and got locked up, and thus lost his dog.

Thomas Fields, landlord of the Castle Inn, said the purchase as described by defendant took place in his presence, in his house, four or five months ago.

Aaron Baker had brought the dog from Netley Forest, a pup, and sold it as described to defendant.

The bench dismissed the charge, not undertaking to say in whom the right of property in the dog was vested.

The offender was cautioned as to how he conducts his houses in the future, and promised not to offend against the law again.

Wednesday, May 31st: Before The Mayor and R.W. Boarer Esqs.

Thomas Field, proprietor of the Castle Inn, appeared in answer to a summons charging him with having his house open for the sale of drink on the morning of Sunday, the 20th inst. He pleaded Guilty.

Superintendent Martin said he visited the defendant`s house at five minutes past eleven o`clock on Sunday morning last. He met two women coming out; one man was in the skittle alley, and four women in the wash house. It was the first complaint he had against the defendant.

Defendant, when called on to answer the charge, said the evidence of Mr. Martin was perfectly correct; he did not dispute it.

The Bench said as this was the first offence, they should fine him £1 and 9s. costs.

Inquest

A sad occurrence took place at Foord on Saturday night. It appears a man named John Epps, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Wilson, left the Castle Inn, Foord, about eight o`clock in the evening to go to his house in Bridge Street. He was intoxicated at the time. Instead of taking the roadway, which is somewhat further, he attempted to cross some fields and garden ground, through which there is no path, and when about half way came to a pond. The appearance of the vegetation would seem to suggest that he fell or laid down, and on getting up again staggered into the pond. He was not discovered until the next morning (Sunday), when he had been dead several hours. An inquest was held at the Black Bull on Monday afternoon before J. Minter Esq., the borough Coroner, when the following evidence was given:

Francis Perry Mascall, a gardener, living at No. 1, Queen Street, identified the body. He said: On Sunday morning, about nine o`clock, I found the deceased in a pond in my field, which is near here. I was going round the pond and saw something strange. On going closer, I saw it was a body. I called to Mr. Goodchild, and told him there was a man or a woman in the pond. The body was laying on it`s side, only one ear and part of a cap being out of the water, which was, I should think, about four feet deep, perhaps hardly so much. A Mr. Page and Mr. Goodchild came and stood by the pond, and I went for a policemen. On Saturday evening I believe I met the deceased about eight o`clock, coming into the garden. He passed me, but was not on my premises altogether, so I said nothing to him. It appeared to me that he was going up towards Mr. Page`s gate, but he did not turn in.  Near the pond I saw some strange footsteps, and some cabbage plants were broken, as if he had laid down. It seemed to me as if he had been trying to get to the other side of the pond, and that he was making a short cut to his home. He did not appear to me to be sober.

William Page, a bricklayer living at Foord, said: I knew the deceased. On Saturday night at eight o`clock I saw him in at Fields`, the Castle Inn. He was sitting there when I went in. He asked me if I had any straw to sell. I said yes, but I could not get it then, as it was too late, but that he could have a bundle in the morning if he wanted it. He said “All right”. He did not appear to be much the worse for drink. I don`t think he was sober. He went out, but did not say where he was going. My house adjoins Mascall`s garden. I saw the footmarks, and am of the same opinion as Mascall. I had never seen the deceased in my garden before. He was not in the habit of going home that way. There were only the footmarks of one person at the spot, and no appearance of a struggle. There was a place where he had fallen down.

Mr. Richard Mercer, surgeon, said he was sent for between half past ten and eleven on Sunday morning. He saw the deceased, and on examining him found he had been dead some hours. There were no marks of violence about the body. Death was in his opinion caused by drowning.

P.C. Keeler said he assisted to take the body of deceased out of the water. On searching him he found two pounds in gold, eleven shillings in silver, and a farthing in bronze.

Joseph Coles, a mason living at Foord, said he saw deceased at the Castle Inn about eight o`clock on Saturday evening. Deceased left about eight o`clock. He was drunk when he left.

There was no further evidence to show how deceased came in the pond, and the jury returned a verdict of “Found Drowned”.

The deceased man leaves a widow, but no children.

Thursday, July 11th: Before Colonel De Crespigny and R.W. Boarer Esq.

Henry Cooper was brought up on remand, charged with a violent assault upon James Burvill on the 3rd inst., at Foord.

James Burvill said he was a labourer, living at No. 12, St. John`s Street. On Wednesday, July 3rd he went to No. 8, Rose Cottages between six and seven o`clock. Mrs. Shrubsole, his sister, lived there, and the prisoner lodged there. He went to the house for some property that belonged to him. He asked his sister if she would put the things in a basket for him. She said “No”, and he went and got the basket himself. He asked if he should put the things in it, and she said “No”. Prisoner was sitting at the table in the front room. His sister said to him “If he offers to take the things, assist me in putting him out”. Prisoner did not like to interfere until he was persuaded by Mrs. Shrubsole. Prisoner did get up and they had a bit of a scuffle, and witness went out. They handled one another roughly. He went back again, and as soon as he got to the front door he received a blow in the face from the prisoner, who had something in his hand. The blow knocked him down in the passage. Mrs. Shrubsole said “Give it to the ----, he`s been asking for it”. He then received another heavy blow on the right cheek whilst he was on the floor. He believed it was a kick. He was almost certain, because he got hold of prisoner`s shoe to prevent him kicking again. He was stunned, and recollected nothing after until the doctor was with him. He was then at his own home, and in bed. His face was very much cut, and he could not see for two or three days. His nose was injured, and was still sore. He was confined to bed for five days, and was yet unable to work. When he went to the house the second time he did not see the prisoner before he struck him.

In reply to the Magistrates` Clerk, witness said he did not strike his sister at all. Prisoner did not come into another room and say “Don`t strike her again, Jim, but come and take the things when you are sober”. She said he should not have the things at all. Never asked the prisoner to fight, but told him he would not be put out by a man like him; he would sooner walk out. Did not hear prisoner tell his sister to go for a policeman.

In reply to prisoner he said he did not strike his sister four times.

William Fagg, of 73, Peter Street, a labourer, said he was at the Castle Inn with the prisoner and complainant. They had two or three pots of beer, and stayed there about an hour. Prisoner then said he should go and get his tea, and Burvill went out a few minutes after, saying he was going to get some cookeryware. Witness stayed there about ten minutes, and was told by the landlord there was a row. When he got up to the house he saw Burvill on his hands and knees trying to get up, and the prisoner was kicking him. He said to prisoner “Hello, what are you doing with him?” He replied “Look how he has served me”. Prisoner had a little scratch on the nose at the time. He said “You must be a coward to serve a man like that”, and he went to take hold of him, but he ran away, and he had not seen him since until he saw him in the dock. Mrs. Shrubsole said to him “You ----, what do you want in my house?” He told her he had come to protect Burvill. She told him that what he had got served him ---- well right. As he turned to leave the house she kicked him. He stayed outside the door until a policeman came, and then went in. Burvill was leaning against the wall in the passage. He led the complainant home.

In reply to the prisoner, witness said he did not see him bleed much.

Mr. William Bateman, surgeon, said the complainant`s eyes were swollen and injured, he had a cut on the left cheek below they eye, and a deep cut running in to the angle of the eye. The cartilage of the nose was broken. At the time he thought he was in considerable danger, but he now appeared to be out of danger. He believed the wounds were caused by blows from a blunt instrument – probably by the toes of the prisoner`s boots. They were very unlikely blows to be caused by a fist. The most serious wound was quite in the angle of the eye.

Prisoner had nothing to say for himself, but called Sarah Shrubsole, a widow, living at 3, Rose Cottages, Foord, who said Burvill was her brother and prisoner lodged with her. On the day in question her brother came to her house. He used bad language, and struck her twice on the face with a basket and once with his fist. Her lodger came in from the back room and she asked him to defend her. Cooper told him not to strike her again, and complainant struck him twice. She left the house to fetch a policeman, and when she went by the house Burvill was trying to make Cooper come out to fight. She admitted raising her foot when she put Fagg out, but denied calling after her brother and using bad language.

Mrs. Annie Lepper said she saw Burvill take off his coat and waistcoat in the garden and ask Cooper to go out and fight. She did not hear Cooper`s answer. Burvill said “Come out and fight like a man. If you don`t, I`ll come in and make you fight”, and he then rushed into the house. She heard a scuffle, and Mrs. Shrubsole`s children ran screaming, and got over the wall into her garden. Cooper also got over the wall, and she gave him some water to wash his face.

Other witnesses were called for the defence, and at the conclusion of the case the Court was cleared for the Bench to consider the evidence. When the Court was reopened Mr. Boarer stated that the punishment they had decided to inflict was one month`s hard labour, and they cautioned the prisoner as to his conduct in future.

Local News

On Monday evening a rumour prevailed in the town that Mr. Thomas Field, the landlord of the Castle Inn, Foord, had been accidentally killed by falling out of a cart. On investigating the facts it was ascertained that for some time the deceased had been suffering from heart disease, and had been attended by Dr. Mercer. On Monday he had occasion to visit Canterbury, and drove to Dover, journeying from thence by the London And Chatham Railway to Canterbury and back. He left Dover in the evening to return to Folkestone, being accompanied in the cart by a young man, a relative, who was driving. When near the Royal Oak Inn, he suddenly fell from the cart, his companion not having previously noticed anything was wrong with him. Medical assistance was summoned as quickly as possible from Dover, Dr. Long attending the deceased, but he had been dead some time – in fact there is no doubt he died in the cart before he fell. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, and a verdict of death from natural causes was returned.

Saturday, March 31st: Before The Mayor, General Armstrong C.B., Captain Crowe, and F. Boykett Esq.

John Champion was charged with refusing to quit licensed premises.

The landlord of the Castle Inn, Foord, said the defendant went to the house drunk and called for a pint of beer. He declined to serve him, and the defendant then threatened to “hammer him”, and offered to fight anyone in the bar. He stayed in the house about 15 minutes. He requested him to leave twice, and as he refused to go, he sent for a constable.

Jeremiah Richards corroborated, and said he went for a policeman at the landlord`s request.

Defendant was fined 5s. and 16s. costs, or 14 days` in default.

Wednesday, April 11th: Before R.W. Boarer and J. Holden Esqs.

Folkestone Chronicle 21-4-1883

Wednesday, April 18th: Before Capt. Crowe, R.W. Boarer, M.J. Bell, and E. Oykett Esqs.

Charles Delo, landlord of the Castle Inn, Foord, was summoned for allowing drunkenness in his house on the 10th April.

The charge was proved and prisoner was fined £2 and 16s. 6d. costs.

Folkestone Express 21-4-1883

Wednesday, April 18th: Before R.W. Boarer, M.J. Bell and F. Boykett Esqs., and Captain Crowe.

Charles Delo, landlord of the Castle Inn, Foord, was summoned for permitting drunkenness in his house on the 10th April.

Mr. T. Young, of Croydon, appeared for the defendant.

Thomas Compton, a labourer, living at Foord, said on Thursday last he went to the Castle Inn, about a quarter to eight in the morning. He remained until half past nine. He had four pints of beer. He returned to the house about a quarter to two, and remained about four hours. He was sober when he went to the house the second time. He bought three pints of beer from Mr. Delo, and besides that he drank with others. At the end of the four hours he was drunk, and could hardly stand. He left about nine to take a pail home. Then he went back. Mr. Delo refused to serve him with any more beer because he was drunk. The landlady told him to leave, but he refused to go.

In reply to Mr. Young, the witness said the beer he drunk was not a large quantity of beer for a whitewasher to “put away”. He was the landlady`s brother. He did not drink four pints of beer every morning. He could drink more. He did not leave the premises from two o`clock until nine. Mr. Delo served him with all the beer except one glass. He remembered shoving the landlord, but could not say what time it was. That was because he would not serve him. Did not know that he broke a window in trying to get at the landlord.

P.C. Kennett said he was called to the Castle Inn at a quarter to eleven by Mrs. Delo, the landlady. He found Compton drunk in the taproom, lying on the table. He took Compton into custody for being drunk and disorderly. He understood Sergeant Butcher had been called to eject Compton. He had to get assistance to hold him up. Mrs. Delo said he had been very riotous and breaking glass.

Mrs. Delo had been subpoenaed, but a medical certificate signed by Dr. Eastes was put in that she was not well enough to attent.

Sergeant Butcher, who was called for the defence, said he was sent for to the Castle Inn about half past six. He was asked if he would assist in expelling Compton. They went into the taproom and found Compton asleep, and he therefore said “Let him sleep”. There had been several complaints about the way in which the house had been conducted, but there had been no charge against the landlord.

James Richards, who was in the Castle when Compton went in, said he heard Delo refuse to serve him. He thereupon assaulted Delo.

Richard Chidwick gave similar evidence.

Mr. Young urged that there was not a title of foundation for the charge, and that his client had done everything he possibly could to conduct his house in a proper manner.

The Bench, however, considered the case proved, and fined the defendant £2 and 16s. 6d. costs, or one month`s imprisonment, but did not endorse the license.

Folkestone Express 29-9-1883

Wednesday, September 26th: Before W. Bateman, R.W. Boarer, J. Clark and J. Holden Esqs., Colonel De Crespigny, and Alderman Caister.

This was the adjourned licensing day.

Charles Delo applied for a renewal of the license to the Castle Inn. Mr. Martin Mowll appeared on behalf of the applicant.

Superintendent Taylor opposed on the ground that the applicant had been convicted on the 18th April for allowing drunkenness, and since that time the house had been conducted in such a manner as to cause annoyance to the people who attended St. John`s Church. He stated in evidence that he had had complaints from the Rev. Mr. Russell and Colonel De Crespigny. He also said that Delo was a man of very dissipated habits. He had not been convicted of drunkenness, but was seldom sober. His wife appeared to be a very respectable woman, and did all she could to have the house managed in a better manner.

In reply to Mr. Mowll, Superintendent Taylor said the reason he had not given notice to oppose the license at the general annual licensing day was that he did not consider there was sufficient ground until he received an intimation from the Bench.

The Bench granted the license, but advised the applicant to let the house, because, in the event of any other complaint being made against it the license would be forfeited.
