The Seven Stars Inn

Medieval Robertsbridge was granted a market charter in the 13th century, and quickly became prosperous. The Seven Stars dates from this era of early prosperity. The earliest surviving building in the village is only 10 years older. Folk history surrounding the building has rumoured that Charles II is said to have been confined there for a time during his escape from England following the Battle of Worcester. This is unlikely as Charles eventually escaped by ship from Shoreham, having travelled from the west.

Built in about 1400 as a Wealden hall house in traditional Wealden timber frame, the building is Grade II* Listed. It was altered in the 16th century and re-faced in the 19th century. It has a recessed centre, with curved timber brackets supporting the eaves. The first floor oversails on brackets, and has a Crown-post-supported roof. Owned by Harveys, a brewery in Lewes, since February 2002, the pub has existed in its current form for at least 300 years.
