More about this scene
The weatherboarded Chequers pub is tucked away in a corner of the dog-leg at the top of the village street, with the early 15th-century church tower rising above the surrounding tiled roofs. It is known as 'the barn of Kent' because of the width of its aisleless nave and the timber scissor-beam roof.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I spent three years living in and around Smarden, at the Chequers, The Bell and often visited The Flying Horse on my days off! Fond memories of Frank and Jenny Stevens at The Chequers, and Laurie at The Bell. Afternoons spent at the cricket ground, was it called the minnis or something similar? I also worked at the peanut factory on the Headcorn road, this was my introduction to working life!
