In the year 1646, Samson
Horne, vicar of St.Marys church came to reside at The White Horse. With
the coming of the reformation in 1660, Samson, a supporter of Cromwell
and the commonwealth, opposed the church and was ejected from office
in 1662. He died alone and penniless here in 1669. It was during the
1956 alterations the inglenook fireplace that had been bricked up since
1740, was uncovered. Since that date many a pint glass has fallen on
the shelves only to land upright and unbroken
Is Samson trying to tell
us something!
Also during the alterations
in 1956, two complete and perfectly preserved male skeletons were found
under the kitchen floor - at a depth of two feet.
General supposition is
that they were either soldiers who fell in the battle at Chilham during
the Wat Tyler rebellion, or the much older remains of men buried in
the pre-Christain era.
The skeletons now rest
in the churchyard of St.Marys Chilham, where they were given a Christain
burial by the vicar after the coroner's inquest had pronouned them to
be Ancient Bones and not the result of undetected crime!
Taken from information
available at The White Horse.
