The Who'd a Thought It was built during the reign of Henry VIII in the year 1545. It was originally a Thatched Farm Dwelling,forming part of a considerable farm estate. In 1740 it became a registered Ale House.
In 1780 a fierce battle took place in nearby Lenham Heath between His Majestys Dragoons and twenty Smugglers, concealing their true identity the Smugglers rested for the night at the Who'd A Thought It. When the innkeeper discovered this he never again opened his doors to strangers.
Today the Who'd A Thought It is a very individual and quite unique sixteenth century Champagne and Oyster Bar offering luxury accomodation and fine dining in the brasserie restaurant, with picturesque gardens. It is set in the heart of the Kent Countryside, close to many interesting and alluring sites.
The perfect setting for a relaxing sojourn. |
