Historic Interest
The original building dates from the early 19th C. but has been much extended and altered since. Located at the northern edge of the common, this served the hamlet of Leaves Green which retains several cottages dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Adjacent to the inn was once a tollgate house, due to its location on the Bromley to Westerham road. Following a fatal accident in a nearby chalk mine in 1896, the body of a miner was brought to the inn for an inquest and his ghost is still believed to haunt the premises.
