Local record

History of this pub

The White Hart at Guestling Green is a genuine old inn on the Winchelsea road out of Hastings towards Rye. It is a Grade II listed building, probably late 17th century and timber-framed, refaced in the 18th century, and CAMRA describes it as a former coaching inn with a rear garden looking out over the Brede Valley. Its landlords can be traced back through directories to J. Crisford in 1859, with the Ramsey family here through much of the later 19th century.
