THE HARE, LANGTON GREEN, TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Apparently there has been an inn on this site since the 16th-century, though this building only dates drom 1901 after the previous structure was destroyed by fire a year earlier. What remained was too dilapidated to restore, and the present Victorian-Tudor model was built.
A woman holding a child is said to haunt the main staircase and cellar, though what era she dates back to nobody can say.
