Found it but I'll hold back for now, having submitted quite a few GTPs lately.

  Thanks John Walker.
The building has a very interesting history. As the story goes  the timbers which were used to build the pub came from The Spanish Armada (known to the English as The Black Pigs - hense the name) wrecked off the the Kent coast in 1588.  Although it is thought that some part of the building dates  further back.



The next one for you.................

You have it Beachbum.  My maternal Grandmother was born close to this pub.  It's the small hamlet of Summerfield, Staple.  Her Dad is listed as a market gardener.


Over to you.

Until recent years it was the only pub with that name in England.  It was initially a brewery as well.
It also doubled-up as the village store for a period.
