This is the oldest pub and one of the oldest buildings in Canterbury, dating from the 15th century and named after the monks of St Radigund at Bradsole near Dover. Virtually nothing of the early history is known, but at some time a first floor was created over the hall and the chimneys added, as with most hall houses. Going back to at least the beginning of the 20th century the building contained seven tenements: hence the pub’s postal address of 3-9 Church Lane. In 1937 it was in danger of demolition as unfit for human habitation, but discovery of many original details led to its restoration. It was later used as a girls’ club, an annexe to the art college, a burger bar and finally a pub and restaurant.
