Deblyns Teashop & Garden
Description
Deblyns Teashop & Gardens. Opening hrs: Tues to Sat 9.00 to 16.30pm. N.B. We will be closed for a holiday from 3pm on Friday 20th October & re-opening at 9am on Tuesday 31st October 2017. Homemade cakes & scones, loose leaf tea & excellent coffee daily. Deblyns is situated on land that once used to belong to The Priory. Together with its neighbouring building it is believed that it was originally a medieval hall house. However, this would have been so altered over the centuries that the main structure is dated from circa 1700 in Land Registry records.
Like many other New Romney buildings, it appears to have been built upon the site of an even earlier structure which was destroyed in the Great Storm of 1287. The previous owner David Lillywhite, whist restoring the building to the previous teashop called Lillywhite’s, came across lintels to a much earlier structure. Pauline Lillywhite originally opened the shop as a florist and converted it to a teashop about 8 years ago.
There is a myth that at one time the premises, like many in the High Street, was a tavern and upstairs was rumoured to be a brothel. To this day a grill can be seen which supposedly was for the purpose of ‘viewing’ the activities within. Anyone who was found drunk and disorderly found their way quickly into the Town Hall dungeon opposite.
Today, number 30 High Street trades as Deblyns Teashop with a wonderful courtyard garden and run by Lynn.
