The Seven Stars Inn

The Seven Stars Inn is a working pub and accommodation establishment in Robertsbridge that dates to the late medieval period. The building displays the characteristic Wealden design with timber framing, a recessed central section, and brackets that support the upper floors and roof.

The building was constructed around 1400 as a Wealden hall house, making it one of the oldest structures in the region. Over the centuries it underwent significant alterations, including a new facade added in the 19th century.

The inn has long served as a gathering place for locals and travelers passing through the village. Visitors can still sense the communal role it plays in daily life today.

Access to both indoor and outdoor areas is straightforward since the building sits directly in the village center. Visitors should be aware that older structures may have uneven floors and low ceilings in places.

The roof is supported by a rare crown-post structure, a medieval carpentry technique that is uncommon in this region. This craftsmanship demonstrates how 15th century builders solved the challenge of supporting heavy roof loads.
