The Inn known as the 'Two Brewers' was built during the reign of Charles 2nd (1660 - 1685) in the year 1683. It was built by one Thomas Gimmit, a master builder of the city of Rochester, who, in 1682 purchased timbers from Rochester Castle, and built the Brewery that once stood in nearby Theobald Square (today La Providence French Hospital stands on the site) It was shortly after this, again using the timbers he had purchased from Rochester Castle, that he built the 'Two Brewers'. The first recorded keeper of the Inn which was also known as the 'Brewster', was one Thomas Preston, a beer retailer and cooper of the City of Rochester. Preston was also a warden who examined the casks and the ale within them by marking them in grades
with either one, two, or three crosses
