Does anyone know where the name Clare House came from? Is this property in the High Street, north side? I had relations surnamed 'Clare' who lived in a very similar property in the 1930/40s. The front door is different now, and steps went up to it. Any information please?

Hythe, Romney Marsh and Ashford Photographic Memories
