King's Arms
The Square
The pub we know as “The Kings Arms” faces St Mary’s Church in Elham’s
former market square. Market rights were accorded in 1251 by King Edward I,
and the weekly market and various official and unofficial fairs held throughout the year made
Elham the main centre of trade between the city of Canterbury and the port of Hythe. It seems that
this ancient Church Ale House, together with the other inns, The Rose and Crown, The Smithies
Arms (now the Abbott’s Fireside) The Five Bells, The Chequer, The Crown and The New Inn,
existed to serve the market trade.
This has been an inn for over 400 years, and thus is older even than the Abbot's Fireside. It was formerly known as the 'Cock' inn, in the days when cock fighting took place in premises at the rear. Even earlier references allude to it as the 'Church Ale House'. The building on the Square, and a long wing at the rear are timber-framed and most attractive inside. The front once had an overhang, but this has been underbuilt in brick, and the upper floor tile hung. New windows, and a modern porch have also been added, but the coach entrance and yard still remain. The main framework dates from the 16th century. Elham Study
